What we do
Burnside PARC provides early intervention for participants who are becoming unwell or in the early stages of recovery from an acute psychiatric episode, to strengthen and consolidate gains from the inpatient setting.
We offer a unique setting for people to start their recovery journey and resume their role in the community by providing coordinated, recovery-oriented treatment and support. Our service encourages links to people's natural supports and their participation in community life.
Values and Principles
- The Burnside PARC model of care is built on the shared mission and values of WHMH&WS and Wellways.
Who can use our service?
Our PARC services are aimed at people who:
- Are aged 18 years or over
- Are eligible for adult area mental health services
- No longer require acute inpatient clinical intervention and treatment but would benefit from short-term, intensive treatment and support in a residential setting post-discharge from an acute inpatient admission
- Are living in the community and require short-term residential support with intensive clinical treatment and intervention to prevent the risk of further deterioration or relapse
Our PARC services are suitable for people who need the level of monitoring and clinical care that does not require admission to an inpatient unit, but would benefit from more intensive clinical treatment and psychosocial support than can be provided by our Community Teams.
