Peace of Mind Canada (formerly known as Peace of Mind 204), founded in 2015, is a Canadian non-profit organization with a principal focus on mental health in young people. The organization has one main program in Manitoba and Ontario, consisting of the planning of events that provide a safe space for youth to share their personal stories about their previous struggles with their mental health .
Loizza Aquino founded Peace of Mind 204 (later renamed Peace of Mind Canada) while enrolled at Institut collegial Vincent Massey Collegiate in 2015, following the death by suicide of her best friend, Miguel Labossiere . The organization's first event was held on September 17, 2015, which was attended by then Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and 200 students .
In November 2016, Aquino was invited to the Manitoba Legislature to represent the organization and advocate for youth in the province. Mr. James Allum, the MLA for the provincial riding of Fort Garry-Riverview took time during the member statements in the Legislative Assembly to acknowledge the work of the organization. The organization's largest event was held at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People a year later, with financial support from the Government of Manitoba, 700 students were in attendance .
The first event by the organization outside of Manitoba was held in mid-2018. The event took place at the University of Toronto St. George campus in Toronto, Ontario, and was sponsored by the university's department of political science .
In late 2019, a student group chapter was formed at the University of Manitoba by Jelynn Dela Cruz, Vice-President of Student Life for the students' union at the university, and the group held a mental health awareness event during the mental health week at the post-secondary educational institution, in conjunction with the Jack.org and Active Minds chapters.
