# Courtney Cyrenne — I help communities move beyond awareness to action through intimate partner violence prevention and education. _Regina, SK, Canada_ Profile: https://www.everyexpert.com/courtneycyrenne ## 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. ## What I help with - Consulting ## Sessions I offer - [Healing After Leaving \- Session Six](https://www.everyexpert.com/courtneycyrenne/book/healing-after-leaving-session-six) — 1 hour, $65.00 Session Six: Finding Your Voice Again Your experiences are part of your story, but they do not define your future.
