Founder Mary Keeser shares "This year, the goal is to reach over 300,000, which would allow us to send at least four letters to every Veteran in a Veterans Home or Veterans Hospital as well as to our deployed Service Members."

NDSU Extension Ward County will offer COMET training on Monday, November 16 from 3-5 PM at the Minot Public Library. This FREE interactive training helps people feel more prepared to start conversations about mental health. Often, we want to support our friends, neighbors, and colleagues in times of need, but may not know how. COMET empowers us to be more prepared to support others’ mental health needs, especially before a crisis. This training does not expect community members to “fix it,” but instead teaches people to feel comfortable initiating a supportive conversation. This is a community event and all are welcome to attend. Call 701-857-6444 to learn more and to reserve your spot.
