Leamington Peace Festival | GRiST Mental Health

Christopher Buckingham gave two "peace talks" at the Leamington Peace Festival on June 13th and 14th to promote a new community service based on GRiST called myGRaCE. myGRaCE is designed for use directly by the public to identify mental-health problems and point them towards the most appropriate support services.

We had a stall at the festival where we gave out leaflets, showed the software, and discussed the purpose of myGRaCE. More than 300 people visited us over the weekend and it was very clear that myGRaCE fills a niche both for the public and for mental-health professionals.

We will be promoting the service in a series of "pop-up" sessions over the next few weeks to raise its profile with local mental-health services as well as the public prior to making it available on a national basis.
