It is estimated that at any time, about 20 percent of the population suffers from a mental health condition. 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. Go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?4501 to register for the upcoming course on Friday, Jan. 29. More spring 2016 dates for this workshop are also available. Admission is free and a light breakfast and afternoon snacks will be provided. For general information, go to http://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org
