About SongwritingWith:Soldiers – SongwritingWith:Soldiers transforms lives through pairing professional songwriters with veterans at retreats across the country to share their stories and connect with others. The first retreat was held in 2012 near Fort Hood, Texas with eight veterans. The bonding, the songs, the impact were so powerful that there was no turning back. Since then, retreats have been held across the U.S. with hundreds of veterans and military families connecting, sharing their experiences, and writing songs with professional songwriters. Lives have been changed because of it. A pilot study by Harvard/Massachusetts General found that the SongwritingWith:Soldiers process can help reduce PTSD and depressive symptoms. Since its founding in 2012, SW:S has served thousands of combat veterans through retreats and partnership programs. This year alone, SW:S will write with more than 1,000 veterans.
