Meet the Team

Julie Cane

Alliance Manager

My name is Julie Cane and I’m the manager of the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance. I’ve worked in mental health services for over 19 years and been heavily involved with the setup of the alliance for the past 12 months. I’ve worked closely with all the providers throughout my career and linked with the subcontractors, so I’m fully aware of the outstanding services they each provide.

We’re looking forward to making further links into the communities of County Durham and promoting the alliance offer. We would really welcome your support with that journey and the exciting times ahead!!!

Lindsay Hutchinson

Assistant Alliance Manager & Single Point of Access Manager

Hi, I’m Lindsay, I started working for Home Group back in 2009, my Mam worked there at the time and listening to the work she did is what made me want to get into this industry. I’ve had many different roles over the years; front line in the Homestay services and management in Accommodation services, Wellbeing and Recovery and CRT. I left Home Group in 2021 to support my Husband to get his business set up which thankfully has been a success, so I was able to return in February this year in the STEP services. Now I am the assistant manager of the alliance which also manages our Single Point of Access (our referral coordinators), I look forward to how we can grow and adapt to support those in County Durham for their mental health and wellbeing.
