NFSHW25: Changing Our Mental and Emotional Trajectory (COMET) Community Training

COMET is a direct response to rural community members’ concern about mental health needs. COMET is a community-based intervention to activate community members and provide them with language, tools, and confidence to intervene when they notice someone around them is unwell – and before a mental health crisis occurs. COMET supports community wellness by focusing on the upstream prevention of mental and emotional health crises.

Intended audience: Anyone is welcome. While a range of populations can find COMET very useful, the program is specifically designed for people living in rural communities. In this setting, the training may also be useful for individuals looking to add a training like COMET to their own programming.
