Dean Owen

Chief Executive Officer

Since forming No Duff, Dean Owen has played a crucial role in the continued success of the services No Duff  provide.Our exceptional skill set, true passion and own experiences have inspired people to come to terms with their Mental Health and help remove the stigma.

​

Having seen service in HM Forces, HMP, Police and RSPCA there isn't a lot that I haven't seen or that shocks me anymore. My aim is to help those of us who have kept the monsters at bay, but who too fight their own Demons and Black Dogs. I was diagnosed with Severe PTSD and Adjustment disorder in 2009 which led to my Medical Retirement from the Police Service.

I have seen many instances effecting colleagues and myself. With no formal mental health training I look forward to completing mental health first aid training very soon. I’m always willing to listen and learn. 

Nicci Cairnes

             Director

Im a British Army Veteran and I understand the lifestyle from both the soldiers and partners perspective. All too often those who serve their country and the public along with the trauma that they experience are being forgotten about, which is why I want to help in any way that I can.

 

I became involved with No Duff whilst facing my own struggles and I am now extremely proud to be a part of the team. I am currently studying to become a Mental Health Nurse.
