COMET™: Changing Our Mental & Emotional Trajectory
A Community Approach to Supporting Mental Health—Before Crisis Hits
Farmers. Veterans. Friends. Neighbors.
We notice when someone we care about just isn’t themselves—but knowing how to check in can be hard.
COMET™ is a simple, free training that empowers everyday people to support one another through emotional challenges—especially in tight-knit rural communities.
What You’ll Learn:
• How to start tough conversations with care
• How to listen without needing to “fix”
• How to offer resources and next steps
