About This Program
The Grampians Youth Prevention and Recovery Care (YPARC) program is a collaborative service between Wellways and Grampians Health Services. The service is a step‐down and step‐up sub‐acute mental health service for those within the catchment areas of Grampians Health. YPARCs are in a community setting and provide an option for people who are becoming unwell, or who are in the early stages of recovery from an acute illness and need a short period of additional support to strengthen their gains from spending time in an inpatient setting. They are supported to consolidate their community transition and recovery treatment plans. Clinical intervention is provided to YPARC through the Area Mental Health Service. The program is staffed 24/7.
