Dr. Grace is a vocal advocate for the de-stigmatization of mental illness and the promotion of mental well-being across all stages of life.

By helping people understand the nature of mental illness, its symptoms, and its treatment options, she equips them with the tools they need to manage challenges effectively and with dignity.
