30 years ago, a group of parents met to create the Ohio Association of Parents for Drug Free Youth and worked to raise awareness about the dangers of drug and alcohol misuse. Now, that organization has grown into a prominent nonprofit dedicated to preventing substance misuse and promoting mental wellness.

Fortunately, A Voice for Sean is not the only organization fighting for the prevention and elimination of addiction. We recommend the following resources.
A Voice For Sean was proud to donate 180 oral care kits to Maryhaven, Central Ohio’s oldest addiction treatment and behavioral health provider—enough for every patient there who was going through Suboxone treatment, which can damage oral health as a side effect. There are so many ways that addiction can affect people's lives, and whether someone is in recovery or not, we at A Voice For Sean believe that compassion must trump judgment. As Malik Malone, Vice President of Business Development for Maryhaven, said: “These types of thoughtful gifts mean so much.” A Voice For Sean will continue to work tirelessly to end addiction, and to help anyone suffering from it.
