What is PARC?
What makes PARC special?
ICLA’s PARC supports mental health recovery in a home-like environment. It is located only minutes from the beach and offers guests a perfect mix between community living and independence. If you stay with us, you are encouraged to be part of our activities, including preparing meals together and enjoying activities such as yoga, art, mindfulness and meditation. Additionally, you have the freedom to come and go as you please, without any minimum stay requirements.
We partner with you to achieve good outcomes for you and your mental health. Here are some of the benefits our PARC program offers:
