Hello @Sunshine14 Welcome to the forum ...
I have never been in a PARC ... I didnt realise that you do your own cooking in them ... have you ever been in a youth hostel? Maybe its a bit like that??

Hi @Sunshine14,
I'm not exactly sure what a PARC facility is either. Can I clarify is it a mid-term rehabilitation facility for MI?
Either way, from what you've written in your post, it sounds like a place that you will be staying for some time, and understandably feeling nervous about.
From what I understand, these places are there to give you support during your time there. It's suppose to be an environment to keep you safe. Have you had a chance to meet workers or visit the facility? Any idea of what the routine will be like there? It might be helpful to speak to workers about how you're feeling and ask if there is anything that they can do to ease you into the transtion?

Hi @Sunshine14,
Did you move into the PARC facility? If so how is it? Is there anyone that could be a potential friend in the future?
Hopefully its not as scary as you thought....?
