About the program

The Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) program is a partnership between Wellways and Eastern Health.

At PARC, we focus on creating a safe and inclusive environment that values cultural diversity, encourages peer participation and leadership, and supports people to build confidence, skills, and community connections. All of our work is guided by evidence-based best practice and a strong belief in the possibilities of recovery.
