Our Story

Teen Medic Talks is a youth-led group created by teens for teens. We were founded in August 2023 by the Founder and CEO, Calesa Taylor. During 2020, Calesa Taylor was struggling with intense anxiety and depression and had no place to turn to, no shoulder to cry on; she was desperately alone. As time continued, she gained resilience after a long and constant battle and began gaining interest in things she used to love. As she scrolled on social media to escape from reality, she witnessed many teens self-diagnosing their depression and intrusive thoughts, lacking knowledge. She would also witness teens losing themselves around her and on the internet, lacking an outlet to turn to. After seeing these events in the summer of 2023, Calesa decided she wanted to teach other teens about critical medical topics and allow them to feel heard, breaking the medical stigmas surrounding teens.
This initiative has shaped me into the person I am today, and it will forever be so important to me. I hope to help teens everyday in need of medical assistance, giving them the social outlet I didn't have. I cannot wait to see what we grow into in the future!
