The PARC service provides integrated psychosocial and clinical services, in partnership with TEMHS as either a step up or step down, as ongoing support following a hospital admission or preventative support to avoid an admission.
• Medium-Longer Term Psychosocial Rehabilitation - A specialist longer-term residential program designed to support people with severe and persistent mental illness who are unable to live independently in the community.
