Resilience Rx Therapy for Vets

Guitars for Vets

A national nonprofit bringing free guitar instruction and music-based healing to military veterans — one chord, one story, one life at a time.

Chapter #221 — Enfield, Connecticut

Healing through music

Marine Corps veteran Dennis Keith Lester directs the Enfield, Connecticut chapter of Guitars for Vets — a national nonprofit that offers free guitar lessons and therapy for military veterans dealing with PTSD.

Through free guitar instruction and community-based jam sessions, veterans find a space where the music does what words sometimes cannot — creating connection, calm, and a renewed sense of purpose.

If you or a veteran you know could benefit from this program, reach out directly to Dennis. No experience necessary — just the willingness to show up.

"Music reaches the places inside us that nothing else can."

Resilience In Us

An inspirational space of resilience - for meaning  and purpose discovery, moment to moment and until our last breath, inspired by my beloved husband's work with fellow veterans, his colleagues,  Viktor Frankl, and my inspiring veteran buddies and acquaintances.  This is also a personal project for my Viktor Frankl Logotherapy diplomate, putting what I have learned to practice to help others.  Input resources are selected by me and used by AI to generate output - daily reflections and tools.
