GET REAL Summer Series, Episode 2 - Celebrating PARCs

Over summer, we’re revisiting some of our favourite GET REAL episodes of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified public interest in how we deliver mental health services and support.

PARCs are a short-term, residential mental health treatment services located in the community that provide an essential recovery-oriented service. ermha365 has been managing PARCs for almost 15 years and during 2020, we ran two GET REAL episodes celebrating PARCS – there is a lot to celebrate — but this is a highlights episode, containing interviews with some of the many people who shape and stay at ermha365 PARCs. We hope you enjoy it.
