Taylorville Memorial Hospital held a mental health first aid course last week. Suzy Traughber, the mental instructor taught the eight hour class that was held on July 25th. Traughber taught the class to ten students to teach them about handling mental health patients during a crisis. This is the third year that this class has been taught and Traughber says it’s about education.

Traughber has some good news though if you live in the city of Taylorville.
