There is no poverty greater than the poverty of serious mental illness as experienced by the last outcasts of our society. This website seeks to effectively raise awareness for the mentally ill and create an awakening of the American conscience by telling to truth of mental illness to all Americans. Once we have heard the truth, we can begin to eradicate the stigma which has been the biggest stumbling block in getting millions of Americans the proper medical and social benefits they so desperately need.

Please help The Peace of Mind Project to combat this horrible stigma and support our efforts to see that the Mental
Health Equitable Treatment Act of 2001 is brought to the House and Senate floors and is passed into legislation.


The Mental Health Equitable Treatment Act of 2001(S. 543) firmly states that severe mental illnesses are biologically-based illnesses of the brain and should be treated like any other medical illness. The bill provides for non-discriminatory medical coverage for adult and childhood mental illnesses. Please click here to view the Bill in its entirety.


Please contact your Senators and urge them to co-sponsor the Mental Health Equitable Treatment Act of 2001 (S. 543).
Senators can be contacted by phone through the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 or write Congress by locating
