Providing Life-Saving Children’s Psychiatric Care

Camber Hays provides psychiatric residential treatment  and inpatient mental health treatment for children ages 6 to 18 who are experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, the impacts of trauma, and other mental health conditions. We accept Kansas Medicaid plans and most private insurance plans.

Have you heard the news? We expanded in Hays! 

We opened a new inpatient hospital for youth experiencing an acute mental health crisis in February 2023. Youth in Western Kansas now have more access to these critical life-saving services at a newly designed hospital in Hays, Kansas. Adding these services will allow Camber to serve over 600 more children and teens each year who are in need of immediate stabilization and compassionate mental health treatment.

Helping Kids and Families Heal

Camber Hays provides a secure and welcoming environment for youth. Our unique experiential learning center offers interactive activities such as virtual reality, emotion regulation drills, and other innovative treatment approaches. Clients receive intensive clinical services in a structured, home-like environment while attending Camber Academy, an onsite, accredited alternative education program for grades K-12. Youth in our residential program are able to receive credits, educational testing, and IEP services while enrolled in Camber Academy.

An accepting and caring philosophy is infused with 24-hour support, supervision and individual and group therapy. Camber provides private visitation rooms for family therapy, visits and evaluations. For those unable to travel, secure tele-video is available. With help from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation, several renovations were completed in 2018.
