Her PhD is part of the Health Research Board 5-year research programme led by Professor Ella Arensman entitled ‘Individual and area level determinants of self-harm and suicide in Ireland: Enhancing Prediction, Risk Assessment and Management of Self-Harm by Health Services’.

Prior to joining the NSRF in 2014, Grace completed a Higher Diploma in Psychology with the School of Applied Psychology in UCC.
