Improving Mental Health

State Sen. Vaneta Becker Media Release

“Access to mental health care is an issue affecting many individuals, families and communities.Â According toÂ dataÂ collected by theÂ Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, approximately 22% of Hoosiers experience mental illness each year, and half with serious mental illness go untreated.

This is why I supportedÂ Senate Bill 1, whichÂ would improve mental health care access by building out a system of certified behavioral health clinics in Indiana, establishing the next step for improving our mental health care system.

While there is no single solution for Hoosiers suffering from mental illness, SB 1 will move Indiana toward getting help to those in need when they need it.Â

SB 1 passed the Senate unanimously and will now be considered by the House ofÂ Representatives.

If you or someone you know is ever experiencing a mental health crisis, contact the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing 9-8-8.”

Improving Early Literacy Skills in Hoosier Children

“A bill I authored this session to improve early literacy passed the Senate Committee on Appropriations this week by a vote of 9-1.

Senate Bill 340 would establish the Indiana Imagination Library to provide Hoosier children from birth to age five free high-quality books each month regardless of income level.

Making sure our children are equipped with books early in life is important in helping them be successful in their education and future careers, and SB 340 would help children jumpstart their literacy skills before ever entering the classroom.

SB 340 now moves to the full Senate for consideration.”

Rep. McNamara’s bill boosting school safety heads to the Senate

02/26/2023

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 26, 2023) â€“ Legislation authored by State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) prioritizing student safety by making additional investments into a successful state grant program schools use to beef up security is on its way to the Senate. McNamara’s legislation continues Indiana’s efforts to keep students and educators safe by increasing investments in Secured School Safety Grants. Under her proposal, the state would invest $26 million into matching local school safety grants, and ensure safety plans for public, private and public charter schools meet standards. The bill expands what the grants can be used for, including digital mapping of floor plans that can be shared with first responders, multi-disciplinary threat assessments, and technology to detect fire, chemical, visual and audible threats.“School administrators need to have the flexibility and means to enact quality safety plans for students and staff,” McNamara said. “The safety concerns in schools is always shifting, but this bill will go a long way in ensuring that they have the resources and plans in place that suits their unique needs.” McNamara said the bill would also create a school safety team in every school corporation in Indiana, comprised of safety specialists like law enforcement, school resource officers, counselors and social workers. The group would be tasked with providing guidance to students, staff and teachers along with the updated and individualized plans for their school corporation. The Indiana School Boards Association, the Indiana School Resource Officers Association and the Indiana State Teachers Association support the bill, which passed unanimously.House Bill 1492 now heads to the Senate for further consideration.

Evansville, IN â€“ Prosecutor Diana Moers announces that, on February 23rd, 2023, Magistrate Judge Celia M. Pauli of the Vanderburgh Circuit Court sentenced 34-year-old Ricky Allen Kiper, Jr. on a single count of Murder to 60 years in prison and an additional 15 years for a habitual offender enhancement. â€œI am very proud of the efforts of my office and EPD on this matter and am pleased to report to the citizens of Vanderburgh County that the Defendant, someone who took it upon himself to take a life, received 75 years with his sentences running concurrently and will be residing in the Department of Correction and off of the streets of Vanderburgh County.Â

Kiper pleaded guilty on January 30th, 2023 after the prosecution presented evidence that Mr. Kiper shot a male victim and ran from the scene, discarding and hiding various items of clothing before being apprehended nearby. During an interview with the lead detective, Matt Elrod, from the Vanderburgh County Sherriffâ€™s Office, Kiper admitted to shooting the victim and stated that he had no remorse for doing so. The Evansville Police Department also participated in the investigation.Â

Prosecutor Moers thanked her Deputies Ian Blair and Josh Hutcheson, her staff Morgan Richardville and Rob Pylant, Detective Elrod, and other law enforcement partners for their diligent efforts.Â
