Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) centers are free, short-term, residential mental health facilities designed as a community-based alternative to hospital admission or to support those discharged from acute care. Stays typically last two to four weeks, providing 24/7 clinical support and psychosocial rehabilitation in a home-like environment. Ages 16 - 64.

YPARCs are free community-based residential facilities that provide a short-term ‘step up’ from the community for a young person (aged 16-25) to work on recovery goals or to prevent an admission to hospital, or a ‘step down’ from hospital to further assist with recovery and safe transition home.
