“Form 990 - organization's mission: to enable military veterans to experience solace and satisfaction through our writing program. Our vision is a world where people appreciate that writing can both heal and entertain. Mental health programs are an important component in the health of returning military veterans. The veterans voices writing project inc. (formerly hospitalized veterans writing project, inc) helps veterans heal from the physical and psychological trauma of war and moral injury through therapeutic writing. Veterans participating in the writing program have stated they feel as though they have been given a voice to express their personal experiences and innermost thoughts which provides them with a sense of well-being, pride, value and worthiness.”

IRS990/Desc0VVWP RECEIVES 450-600 MANUSCRIPTS ANNUALLY AND AROUND 100 ARE PUBLISHED IN EACH OF THE THREE ISSUES OF OUR MAGAZINE, VETERANS' VOICES. THE BENEFITS OF THIS PROGRAM TO HEAL AND EXPERIENCE SATISFACTION, CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED BY ONE OF OUR VETERAN AUTHORS: "I HAVE BEEN SENDING MY WORK TO VETERANS' VOICES MAGAZINE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT HAS HELPED ME BECAUSE I FIND IT HARD TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS I'VE EXPERIENCED, BUT IT IS EASIER TO WRITE ABOUT IT. I HOPE MY WORK HAS HELPED OTHERS WHEN THEY READ IT IN THE MAGAZINE. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE MILITARY, I HAD BEEN TRAUMATIZED AND FOUND IT HARD TO TALK TO ANYONE INCLUDING MY OWN FAMILY. THEN I STARTED WRITING AND SHARING MY POETRY WITH THE STAFF AT THE VA HOSPITAL AND ONE DAY I WAS TOLD ABOUT YOUR MAGAZINE AND I HAVE BEEN SENDING MY WORK TO YOU EVER SINCE. I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR PUBLISHING MY WORK.
