A Teenage Heroin Advocacy Group :: The Seth Foundation

The Seth Foundation was founded because of the death of my 18 year-old son, Seth. I watched my son and my family struggle with his drug use for two years, starting with prescription drugs such as Soma and Oxycontin and ended with his use of Heroin. I want to help educate parents and especially kids on how dangerous drug use is. I would like to bring about awareness of the HUGE problem that no one wants to talk about.

Most of the time, when someone wants to get help it can take weeks or months to get into a rehab program. I would like these young people to have somewhere to go immediately, when they decide they’re ready for help -- and to be able to offer them something positive right away so they are less likely to change their minds.

Seth was a wonderful kid who got caught up in something really bad. I want to honor his memory by making sure parents and kids have the information we did not have to help my son.

Thank you for your support,
God Bless You,
Karin Murphy
