Veterans begin with guided instruction in the essential elements of storytelling—writing, illustration, visual composition, and narrative structure. This phase offers structured, judgment-free learning and creative exploration.
-
- Introduction to visual storytelling, narrative writing, and comics
- Foundational art and writing exercises
- Peer-supported creative development
Reflect:
Processing Trauma Through Illustration and Narrative
Participants are guided to explore personal experiences through structured creative prompts and expressive mediums. Story becomes a safe container for reflection and growth.
-
- Narrative therapy-inspired techniques
- Journaling, sketching, and storyboarding from lived experience
- Opportunities to share creative progress, if desired, in a private and non-critical space
Rebuild:

Veterans begin turning their creative voice into something tangible and mission-driven. This phase helps them rebuild a sense of agency and direction in both life and art.
-
- Project planning and idea development
- Reframing identity through storytelling
- Group work, mentorship, and skill sharpening
Publish:
Bringing Stories to Life
Participants move toward real-world outcomes, preparing their work for publication through the Foundation, Publishers, or independently.

CRPTS Framework Disclaimer:
CRPTS, or Combat-Related Post Trauma Syndrome, is a peer-developed field framework created to describe a common operating-state pattern observed in some direct-action Combat Veterans, including its effects on physiology, identity, relationships, and daily functioning.
CRPTS does not replace clinical diagnosis. PTSD remains an important recognized diagnosis for identifying trauma-related symptoms and establishing clinical care.
CSF does not provide medical or mental health diagnosis, therapy, or crisis treatment. LRRP(S) is a peer-led educational and community pipeline centered on disciplined creative practice, structured self-observation, and long-term reorganization.
Support Our Mission:
Your support helps fund fully equipped LRRP(S) cohorts for disabled Combat Veterans.
Command and Signal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
