How Can We Help? If you provide services to veterans, contact us to explore how our programs can enhance the work you do.Heroes’ Voices has been doing regular music workshops with our veterans that have mental health issues at hospital and community integration sites.
Heroes Voices has been especially effective for our Veterans with mental health issues, helping them to increase their coping and their sense of community, as well as gaining or re-gaining increased functioning in important life roles.
A greater ability to appreciate and take part in creating music has meant that not only do they have a sense of mastery lacking for many in their lives, but Veterans have also been able to generalize this skill to other life roles, improving in their ability to interact with family, friends, employers and others.
