Event Date
Recognizing that mental health functions on a spectrum, COMET™ (Changing Our Mental and Emotional Trajectory) 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 crisis occurs. COMET™ helps fill a gap and is a strong complement to other strategies to reduce the suffering resulting from the high levels of stress in rural, agricultural communities. COMET™ aligns with rural cultural values of neighbor helping neighbor and communities being their own best resource.
The Regional Trainer Workshop trains local community members as Regional COMET Trainers, who are equipped to deliver the COMET Community Training in their own communities and networks. The Train the Trainer requires a $175 fee for certification. The Zoom link for the virtual training will be sent to your email within 2-5 business days after registering through EventBrite.
3.5-hour virtual training includes:
- Experiential and didactic sections
- Background information, key concepts, COMET Community Training, and basic teaching tips
- Identifies opportunities for local tailoring
