• Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) - Provides sub-acute residential care for up to 28 days. 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. The program focuses on relearning or learning living skills within a psychosocial rehabilitation framework in the areas of living, learning, socialising and working. The service aims to support participants to achieve independent living in the Community upon exit or transition to a NDIS Home and Living Package.
