What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Over its 145-year history, Wernle Youth and Family Treatment Center served directly as a place of hope and healing. Today, the organization operates entirely as a foundation focusing on strategic grantmaking. They no longer offer specific levels of clinical care or inpatient programming.
Therapies
Direct therapeutic modalities and clinical counseling sessions are not provided by the current staff. Instead, the foundation partners with regional organizations that deliver hands-on clinical therapies to children and families in need. This structure expands the reach of specialized trauma care across the region.
Addictions
Their current mission focuses on community funding rather than treating active substance use disorders. Grants actively support local initiatives that build resilience and stability for vulnerable youth. Individuals seeking direct rehabilitation interventions should consult active clinical providers.
Conditions
While Wernle Youth and Family Treatment Center has a deep behavioral health legacy in Richmond, they no longer treat psychiatric diagnoses directly. The foundation channels all resources toward aligned nonprofits that manage community mental health and general wellness.
Issues
Funding efforts are strictly designed to alleviate systemic issues facing families today. The foundation backs initiatives that create lasting success for at-risk, multi-stressed youth. This strategic financial support helps proxy organizations tackle community instability and a lack of core resources.
Programs
The guiding philosophy here is to act as a clear catalyst for transformative change. While formal therapeutic programs have evolved into philanthropic action, their 145-year legacy of healing remains the driving force behind every grant decision.
On-site
Amenities
With a complete shift to a community funding model, residential amenities and campus recreation are no longer central features. Wernle operates primarily as a philanthropic administrative foundation rather than an overnight residential retreat.
Coverage
Payment
Because they function exclusively as a grant-making foundation, direct payment plans and insurance verification processes do not apply here. Wernle Youth and Family Treatment Center distributes funds outward to the community rather than collecting payments from individuals seeking care.
Please contact the facility directly to verify insurance coverage and payment options. Many facilities offer free insurance verification.
