							Unfortunately all 3 of my babies got their mental health from me. 2 of them have had a stay at Cambers. I highly recommend that if your kiddo is in need this place is great. We have been to the Wichita and Kansas City locations. The therapist called me everyday and kept me informed on how she was doing. I love this place.

							This is honestly the best mental hospital I've been to! I know it's not a fun place to be, and you just wanna go home and see your friends. But a good handful of staff try to make it as tolerable as possible! I met a lot of great staff there! *cough cough* Emilia (emo rat#1 aka your favorite rats favorite rat aka stuffed animal surgeon), Emma R (emo rat#2), Bella (emo rat#3) Evaynn(rat#1 aka the scum between my toes aka emo rat#1's brother), Emma P (a ratoch *rat + roach), Reagan (my favorite nurse whose also a bht, a goofy goober, i will never to lana or taylor without think of all the times we cried together reggie.) Nessa (the teddy bear/the mom of acute), Kenzie F (one of the kindest staff), Sierra (silly goose), Cierra (yeehaw rat), Julie (my favorite rat to annoy), Courtney (my favorite roach to annoy), lesly (shes just somthing else), bre (my favorite clock [jk shes my favorite yapper]), nurse bre (shes great at talking you out of things), nurse gwen (no comment), Bria (she runs great groups!), Chloe (probably the best artist that works there!) trey (everyone's favorite aka loser at speed #1 aka Trina/Treyana), Ryan (loser at speed #2 aka the funny guy), cj (sewed up my comfort stuffy then you can count on your fingers and toes), Cindy (my favortie old lady) and many others; but my all time favorite has to be the stinkiest rattiest roach that works there.... Kennedy (she's kinda scary 😨). The food, isn't that great.... but some (most) days it's better than how I eat at home (#poorpeople). The staff have really helped me see my value, and have given me the will to keep pushing the overfilling shopping cart called life. So yeah! Out of all the cambers and mental hospitals in Kansas (that I've been to) this one is the best and treats us the most like people! I learned a lot, met a lot of cool people, and jammed to alot of weird little kid music while I was there. Overall I think this is a 5/5 star place to go to when you're on the struggle bus. Brandy, if you see this.... you aren't stinky today!! ^^ OH also I was a client who would struggle with sh and si, so I had to do strip checks behind a sheet, and nurse Marlo and Sabrina (a bht) always made me safe and comfortable to do them! (Aswell as a few others but these two deserved an honorable mention :])

							Very good experience with the staff during what was an emotional and stressful situation. The main thing that stood out was the constant communication with us. We had nurses and case managers continually keeping us updated on progress. We would make a plan for later calls at a certain time and they always hit the mark. Very much appreciated

							No one ever wants to have to make a call like this. Camber was our last resort. It felt like our family was going to fall apart and I didn't know what else to do to help our child. It was one of the hardest decisions as a parent. The staff at Camber was amazing. They helped our child so much. I couldn't imagine the progress would have been possible without them. It's not an overnight thing, but it finally got us where we weren't taking four steps back and can actually move forward. The acute stay and family therapy aided us in being confident we can keep our child and family safe now. I would recommend them a time and time over. My child can smile and communicate again. We are so thankful for the good people at Camber!

							The staff was very friendly, respectful, and welcoming. While our son was there, the therapist and psychiatrist communicated with us about how he was doing and notified of us medication changes. We are hopeful that our son is on the right track to getting better.

							For the past 10 years, I’ve dreaded struggling through seminars to get my ethics CEUs. They have always been my least favorite part of renewing my license. However, Camber has done the impossible and managed to develop interesting ethics seminars. The information is amazing, the content is engaging and presenters are great. I’ve taken several seminars from them now and each one has added a valuable tool to my social work skills box. Highly recommend!

							I attended an Ethics training today and last week offered by Camber via webinar. It was very informative and included a panel of professionals to answer questions and explain nuisances of different topics. I like that I was able to get all 3 hours of Ethics training for free at a convenient time, split across two separate days. Thank you for your time, professionalism and knowledge.

							I just completed an Ethics training facilitation by Camber staff, and was very happy with the information shared. It went beyond potential ethical considerations and shared several case scenarios with dilemmas and previous court cases that supported various responses. I will definitely take trainings offered again!

							I enjoyed the Ethics webinar because it gave more than just vague information that we typically hear during trainings and walked participants through a model to assist in making decisions. I feel the quality of webinars at no cost is excellent! Plan to attend more in the future! Thank you, Camber❤️

							KVC Hays does an excellent job of caring for the clients from every aspect of health!! KVC Hays Staff is so friendly and kind, always going above and beyond for each kiddo and family. I have seen first hand the work these people put into ensuring the success of the "forgotten" kiddos, without shame, the kiddos who need these supports the most. KVC Hays is unique in terms of providing exceptional quality of care, the staff are well educated and dedicated to the work they do. Your child is more than a client or a number, they are a person who is seen, heard, and loved. KVC Hays ensures your child, and every child receives this. Exceptional work, from exceptional people!

							My experience has been as a professional working with KVC in Hays. The Clinical Director, Sarah Berens, has been extremely helpful when I have had clients in need of possible hospitalization. She has helped provide me with information, which I was able to share with my clients and their parents regarding KVC and their services. I appreciate the collaboration with the agency as well. KVC Hospital in Hays is a great asset and resource for Northwest Kansas.

							This is a facility that is forward thinking on how they treat children with trauma. These children have come from home environments where they often hear negative comments about their behaviors that they often ignore what is said to them. For them to hear the positive of what they do, it begins to reinforce that positive behavior. Keep up the good work.

							I work at Genoa, the pharmacy across the street that helps provide medication for the clients during their stay at KVC in Hays.
