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 and 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. The next course is Friday, Feb. 19. To register, go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?4501 and submit your registration. More spring 2016 dates for this workshop are also available. Admission is free and a light breakfast and afternoon snacks will be provided.
