IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH

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.”

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.

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