At Our Mentality Matters, we believe that every student deserves to feel supported, understood, and empowered—especially international students navigating the challenges of studying abroad.

Founded by Jerron Dopwell and Christian DeGonzague, our mission is to provide a space where international students can find mental health resources, relatable experiences, and a supportive community.

Jerron, an international student himself, knows firsthand the struggles of adapting to a new culture, managing academic pressure, and staying mentally strong in an unfamiliar environment. With a passion for mental health advocacy, he created Our Mentality Matters to break the silence around these challenges and offer real solutions.

Joining him in this mission, Christian DeGonzague brings his own expertise in mental health awareness. While not an international student, he understands the importance of mental well-being for all students and is committed to providing insightful content and practical advice for anyone facing mental health challenges.

Together, we’re building a platform where international students can feel seen, supported, and inspired. Through blog posts, social media, and interactive content, we aim to create a conversation that matters—because your mentality matters.

Let’s grow, heal, and thrive together.
