In-depth resources written by Jon Larsen, LMFT, for returned missionaries and the families who love them.
An early return from a mission is far more common than most LDS families realize — and far too misunderstood. This guide covers who early returned missionaries are, why they come home, what the research says, and how families can best support them through the transition.
When your missionary comes home early, the question is: what do you do next? Jon Larsen, LMFT and father of an early returned missionary, shares six practical strategies for parents navigating this difficult transition.
Real questions from missionaries and their families answered honestly. If you don't see your question here, you can submit it and Jon or Brooklyn will answer it personally.
