The company operates the website yourteenmag.com, which serves as a resource for parenting teenagers, offering articles, advice, and community. Its content covers a wide range of topics relevant to parents, from teen slang and party ideas to serious issues like mental health and college admissions.

The company remains active, providing a platform for parents to find support and information as they navigate the teenage years.

History

Your Teen Media was founded in 2007 by friends Stephanie Silverman and Susan Borison. The idea emerged from their own experience as parents of teenagers: they noticed that parenting can get lonely when kids get older and the playgroups fade away, and that glossy magazines usually focus on young children. They saw that other parents of teenagers were hungry for expert advice and nonjudgmental support, and they decided to create a media company to meet that need. The company launched Your Teen Magazine, which later became Your Teen Media, as a resource for parenting teenagers. Over the years, Your Teen Media expanded its offerings beyond the website to include a podcast, weekly email newsletters, and social media channels. The podcast is hosted by Aliah, Caitlin, and Hannah from CultivaTeen Roots, and features interviews with leading parenting experts and answers to listener questions, with a focus on connection and facts over fear. The company has been recognized in various media outlets. In 2019, co-founder Susan Borison was chosen by Crain's Cleveland Business as one of their Notable Women In Entrepreneurship. Also in 2019, CBS This Morning featured Editor Susan Borison on their segment on college admissions. The publishers have appeared on numerous podcasts, including The College Scoops Podcast, This Is Life Unfiltered, and On Boys. Your Teen Media continues to operate as a privately held company, with Susan Borison serving as Publisher & Editor-In-Chief and Stephanie Silverman as Publisher & Chief Revenue Officer. The company remains dedicated to providing expert advice and support to parents of teenagers.
