We will work alongside you to support your personal journey.
Our Prevention and Recovery Care programs offer an individualised approach to supporting recovery within a short term residential environment. The program has a focus on connecting with peers and the community; supporting a strong sense of self and focus toward the future.
A Prevention and Recovery Care site is a supported service that operates 24/7, run in partnership with the local Area Mental Health Service who provide clinical support at Prevention and Recovery Care including psychiatric consultations and allied health support.
PARC mental health services/facilities provide the opportunity to recharge, reflect and develop new skills with the support of a collaborative team.
PARC is a voluntary program, providing short-term residential support for up to 10 people on site, with an average stay of 14 days.
PARCs can often be a circuit breaker for participants to reduce distress at critical life periods. This can include preventing possible hospital admissions, or support for those leaving hospital to successfully transition back home and in the community.
No-one understands a participant’s experience as well as they do, so we aim to work alongside the participant, their family, carers and others to support them in their journey.
