							My child needed to come here to get stabilized, needing med change and family therapy. The staff who answered the phone were so kind and were very patient!!! That was needed and helped my family so much. Excellent communication and that was 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.

Great resource!

							KVC provides such easily accessible, free, and quality continuing education opportunities for social workers/counselors. The convenience they provide takes one thing of the plate of busy professionals striving to find CEU's.

							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❤️			

				Misty Humphrey

							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.			

				Robert Lindenmeyer

							I work at Genoa, the pharmacy across the street that helps provide medication for the clients during their stay at KVC in Hays. Throughout the years it’s been truly wonderful to work with a team that cares about the well-being of the kids and has the compassion and dedication that they do.
