Wellness Center

Welcome to Wernle Children's Home Wellness Center

Wellness Center:

Cafeteria:
Most residents receive all their daily meals in the cafeteria.  The dedicated staff serves nutritious meals to them three times a day, and the boys must always practice their manners by waiting in line and eating their food properly.

Chapel:

Pastor Daniel Nugent holds service for the boys every Sunday.  The children also use the chapel for watching movies and reading. 
Wernle’s Board of Directors holds regular meetings there, and summer school is also located in the chapel. 

Gymnasium:

The Wellness Center is home to our full-sized gym, complete with basketball goals, bleachers, basketballs, and kick balls.  Our residents use the gym daily for part of their recreational activities.

Computer Lab:

Located off the gym, boys are able to have access to computers for recreational use or homework under the watchful eyes of staff.

Art Therapy Room:

Boys use the art room all of the time for drawing, painting, building models, and working with clay.  Wernle's art room has a potters wheel to create many handsome pieces for the boys to proudly display.

 Below is an example of their work!  The art room even has a kiln for firing the clay sculptures the boys create.

Music Therapy Room:

Whether the boys want to learn how to play the keyboard or guitar, or even if they just want to practice being a DJ, our music therapy room is a great compliment to our other treatment programs—offering something for everyone regardless of skill level.
