Wellbeing in Mission - Proactive wellbeing, rooted in faith, for mission workers & teams

Resource by Laughing Well

Mission work can be deeply meaningful, but it can also bring pressure, change, isolation and the challenge of caring for others while making space for your own wellbeing.

Wellbeing support doesn't have to begin when someone is already struggling. Laughing Well offers proactive support that creates regular space to pause, reflect and notice how you are doing and what you might need along the way.

Support includes Thrive Well individual check-ins and group sessions; Pause. Breathe. Pray. sessions combining breathing, stillness, reflection and prayer; and Joy & Rest workshops for teams, retreats and gatherings.

Sessions are warm, practical and relational, bringing together reflection, laughter, breathing, prayer and connection to support joy, rest, resilience and wellbeing.

Support is available for individual mission workers, teams and organisations and can complement existing member-care provision.
