“How Do We Heal?” by War for Peace
Voices of Valor Program | February 10, 2025
Voices of Valor, a program of Music For All Seasons, engages U.S. military veterans in a structured, collaborative songwriting process that transforms lived experiences into original music. Guided by professional musicians and a psychology mentor, participants work together to write and record songs that promote emotional expression, strengthen peer connection, and reduce social isolation. No prior musical experience is required. Each project culminates in a recorded song that reflects participants’ voices and demonstrates measurable outcomes in participant confidence, engagement, and community-connection. To date, the program has completed over 90 cycles and 810 sessions, resulting in original songs created and recorded by participating veterans.
