Changing Culture, Saving LivesTM

The Magnitude of the Problem

SEMS Foundation (SEMSF) is a non-profit organization founded upon the concept of a peer-to-peer intervention strategy in diminishing student deaths related to alcohol and drug issues. In our culture of excess, our society has developed a habit of binge drinking and drug usage leading to 1,700 students deaths seen among college campuses every year. This number will only continue to increase. Moreover, these student deaths pertain to the most extreme cases of excess. Thus, the number of injuries incurred by alcohol and drugs are unimaginable. These students are our world’s future foundation: business professionals, doctors, politicians, and ultimately, the leaders. Alcohol and drug related deaths and injuries are unwarranted and can be prevented. Help the SEMS Foundation take the first step in “changing culture, saving lives.”

About Us

 

SEMS Foundation provides cutting-edge services to students and universities nationwide. We are reinventing the collegiate risk managenment industry by broadening service offerings to pragmatically address the “culture of excess” on college campuses.  It is our belief that only the source of the problem can be a solution to the problem. By empowering students to be the agents of change, a truly comprehensive service can be born. It is our duty as an organization, to see to it that all major, private and public universities have access to the latest, medically reviewed research, educational resources, and logistical planning in-order to provide cultural solutions that are peer motivated and executed. Our SEMS program has evolved into what we believe to be the most comprehensive solution that currently exists for Universities. Students are excited at our approach because we take a stance that is realistic and treats them as adults. By endorsing responsibility and preventative services, students see SEMS as a service they can trust and one which they are eager to participate in. The universities that have used our services endorse our approach and understand how important a university’s role in creating change can be, once they allow students to be proactive in being a solution to the problem.
