Today I announced nearly $20M to expand @DCFKansas programs proven to keep families together — and to keep kids out of the foster care system. These programs have already kept 3,000 Kansas kids with their families, setting up our state for future success.

"We’re grateful for the opportunity to expand services in Hays & surrounding communities so we can enhance the positive impact these services make on the lives of children when they need it most.” - Camber Children's Mental Health President Bobby Eklofe
The new Camber Children's Mental Health Hospital in Hays will provide essential mental healthcare services to the region. I couldn't be prouder of the work we're doing to give Kansans access to the care they need and deserve. krsl.com/local/governor-kell…

Rev. Racheal Pryor: Bless us w/ unity that does not demand uniformity. W/ community that overcomes polarization. W/ faith and mercy that turns strangers into neighbors so that we look up one one another, every single other, as deserving of justice, peace and human dignity. #ksleg
