“For as long as I can remember, Veritas House has held a pretty special place in our community. The children, young people and families Veritas supports can often be some of the most vulnerable, and they deserve the care and support Veritas House has delivered for so long. When the opportunity to be a part of that came along, I had to jump at it. My role is the Clinical and Consultation Services Manager, but really what that means is I manage our clinical team. I get to do a mix of clinical work myself, as well as helping support the clinicians we employ, and building the CCS service.”
Peter Rohr, Clinical and Consultation Services Manager
