HAYS, Kan. (KNS) – A new youth mental health center in western Kansas will start accepting patients next month. The new Camber Children’s Mental Health hospital in Hays expects to serve more than 600 young people. That includes 14 beds for inpatient and residential treatment.
Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Secretary Laura Howard says the new center, “comes at a time of critical consequence surrounding the issue of children’s psychiatric services.”
A report from last year ranked Kansas as the worst state in the nation for mental health for adults and children. The state ranked last for consistent treatment for youth that have had a major depressive episode.
