Diverse Atmosphere ofTrust and Mutual Respect
Recovery Is Possible
The Thomas M. Wernert Center is built on the foundation of teamwork, education, fellowship, and positivity. We believe that each person's journey through the recovery process can be assisted through the power of camaraderie, interpersonal connection, and maintaining an open mind towards what is possible.
You're Not Alone
Isolation is a serious barrier to recovery and the Thomas M. Wernert Center aims to fight isolation at its core by providing a caring, compassionate, and nurturing environment where everyone is important. As Lucas County's premier Peer Support day center, we offer support groups, educational programs, and plenty of activities including outings, games, and parties. At the Wernert Center, you're an important part of our organization.
You're Respected
Respect and personal dignity are two core values on which the Wernert Center operates. When you come to the Thomas M. Wernert Center, you are not just a member—you're an important part of what makes us unique in Lucas County. You can expect to be treated with care and compassion and respect.

Food Pantry
TMWC established the Helping Other People Eat (HOPE) to ensure all who attend TMWC are fed – whether it's the start of your day, the end of your day, or on days you do not attend the center. HOPE Food Pantry is stocked with healthy foods for distribution to those members who register.
Changes to the TMWC Newsletter
Peer Connections, the monthly newsletter from Thomas M. Wernert Center, will move to an online/email format starting in July 2024.
Funding Partners
Funders and sponsors are a key part of the powerful community support behind the Thomas M. Wernert Centers. Our sponsors make it possible for TMWC to publish our newsletter, power our website, run our programs and services, and add small touches that help our members feel welcome and special.
