Members of the Management Team:
Peter O. Casey, MSW, MA, Executive Director - peterc@pcmhc.org
Peter O. Casey began as the executive director of Peninsula Community Mental Health Center on April 17, 2006. Peter comes to PCMHC with almost 30 years experience in the mental healthcare field. For the last 5 years he has been the executive director for the Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center in Belle Meade, New Jersey. He has also been the administrative liaison between East Mountain Hospital and Carrier Clinic, a private non-profit third party management group, as well as maintaining a private counseling practice. Peter brings his experience in organizational development of a mental health agency, public relations, as well as clinical expertise. During his time at RHMCH he was able to develop programs that met community needs, support staff with increased training and educational opportunities, diversify funding, and obtain JCAHO certification for the agency. That this was accomplished with minimal employee turnover speaks well for his management style which, when talking with his supervisors and subordinates, was characterized as inclusive, respectful, and measured.
