Peter O. Casey began as the executive director of Peninsula Community Mental Health Center on April 17, 2006. Peter came to PCMHC with almost 30 years experience in the mental health care field. Prior to working for PCMHC, he had been the executive director of the Richard Hall Community Mental Health Center in Bridgewater, New Jersey. He was also the administrative liaison between East Mountain Hospital and Carrier Clinic, a private non-profit behavioral health organization, as well as maintained 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 RHCMHC, 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.
