About the Program
The Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) program is a collaborative service between Wellways and Monash Health. A Wellways PARC offers an individualised approach to supporting recovery from mental health challenges.

There are five PARC sites across the South East Melbourne, including a Women's PARC(Springvale), Youth PARC(Dandenong), Extended PARC (Narre Warren) and two Adult PARCS (Clayton and Narre Warren).

Our multidisciplinary recovery teams are creative, motivated and focused on ensuring positive experiences for participants and their loved ones.

All our recovery services value cultural diversity, support and create opportunities for recovery, value peer participation and leadership and are underpinned by evidence-based best practice.
