Courtney Cyrenne
I help communities move beyond awareness to action through intimate partner violence prevention and education.
About
I’m the Founder of Empower Us Consulting, a survivor advocate, educator, and aspiring public speaker passionate about changing how communities understand and respond to intimate partner violence.
Combining lived experience with professional experience in victim services and the justice system, I bring a unique perspective to conversations about domestic violence, coercive control, trauma-informed practices, and the realities survivors face long after leaving abuse.
Through workshops, speaking engagements, and community education, I challenge misconceptions, encourage meaningful conversations, and empower individuals and organizations to recognize abuse, support survivors, and create lasting change.
My mission is simple: to move beyond awareness and inspire action. Because preventing violence isn’t just a survivor’s responsibility. It’s a responsibility we all share.

Healing After Leaving is a six-session, survivor-centred educational program designed to help individuals navigate life after intimate partner violence. Through practical education, guided reflection, and empowerment-focused conversations, participants explore post-separation abuse, coercive control, personal identity, boundaries, independence, and reclaiming their voice. This program honours each survivor’s unique journey and supports informed choices at their own pace.

This practical session explores financial empowerment, accessing community resources, navigating support systems, and identifying barriers to independence. Participants receive educational information and tools to help strengthen decision-making, explore available options, and create realistic, self-directed goals for their future.
