Mental health as a missionary

Today on Saints Unscripted, Drew Young joins us to talk about his mission, his mental health, and his new book about both topics (called ‘The Meaning of Your Mission’).

Drew had dreams of becoming an incredible full-time missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Just like members in his family, he wanted to serve full-time and had no doubt that he could do so. However, not long into his missionary experience, he was experiencing some mental health issues and began to attend therapy while in the Missionary Training Center (MTC). His mission quickly began to change. He went home early from his mission and further continued to experience a variety of mental health issues that are common in people who have come home from their missions early.

Drew talks about finding your mission, becoming mentally healthy, and being the person you were meant to be! Let us know what you learned from Drew in the comments below!!
