A free, public mental health workshop on COMET, Changing Our Mental and Emotional Trajectory, will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m., Nov. 18, in the upstairs conference room in the Farmers Union Insurance Building at 300 River Drive North in Great Falls.

The 90-minute interactive training teaches participants how to reach out in a meaningful, respectful, and supportive way to friends, co-workers, or acquaintances who seem to be struggling somewhere between wellness and a mental health crisis. While designed for rural and farming communities, it can also be used in urban and suburban settings and:

• provides an easy way to start a conversation
• teaches you how to exit the conversation in a supportive way
• offers resources to share with others if they need more than a listening ear.

Supper is provided by Montana Farmers Union. Text to RSVP for food count to Jodi Koterba at 406-788-8816 or email jkoterba@montanafarmersunion.com.
