It is estimated that at any time, about 20 percent of the population suffers from a mental disorder. However, less than half are being treated by a professional. The Counseling & Testing Center is offering free Mental Health First Aid courses to help individuals better identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health issues in others. Help yourself, help a friend! To register for the Friday, Sept. 25 course, email paula.branizor@wichita.edu. For more information, go to http://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org
