Welcome to Minds Matter

Supporting your mental health journey!

About Minds Matter
Hello, my name is Isabella Dimeo and I’m a second year at El Camino College! I’m a psychology major, with my passion for the subject going back to high school. Through different extracurriculars, I realized my desire to learn about mental health. This only grew when I entered college, with it now being my goal to get a PhD in Psychology! With it, I hope to educate people on mental health, help people who are struggling with different disorders, and erase stigma surrounding mental illness. Here is just a place I post blogs related to mental health, read them if you like :).
