About Us
Grounded in Care, United in Purpose
Vision
We envision a world where healing, safety, and support are accessible to everyone—especially those impacted by gender and power-based harm. By centering survivor voices, challenging harmful norms, and pushing for real change, we’re working toward a future where violence is neither normalized nor ignored.
Mission
Our mission is to help people, communities, and organizations prevent harm, respond with care, and build environments where healing and connection can thrive. Through interactive training, practical tools, and culturally grounded support, we work to shift culture, strengthen systems, and create lasting change.
Meet Our Founder
Crisis Prevention and Recovery Collective (CPRC) was created by Zoë Aoussou, a trusted leader with over a decade of experience supporting people and organizations through moments of crisis and change. With roots in advocacy, education, and public service, Zoë built CPRC as a network of experts dedicated to helping communities, workplaces, and institutions grow stronger, safer, and more connected.
At CPRC, we take a holistic and trauma-informed approach to everything we do. Whether we’re leading a workshop, reviewing a policy, or supporting a team in transition—our goal is to create practical, healing-centered solutions that last. We’re here to support people, not just problems—and we believe real change starts with care.
Our Approach
Our intersectional approach recognizes how overlapping identities (race, gender, sexuality, etc.) shape individuals' experiences with violence. We design inclusive, culturally responsive strategies that address systemic inequalities and diverse community needs.

Intersectional
Our holistic approach supports the whole person—physical, emotional, psychological, and social well-being. We integrate services across sectors to promote healing, resilience, and long-term recovery beyond the immediate crisis.

Holistic
CPRC’s trauma-informed work prioritizes safety, empowerment, and respect. We create supportive environments that recognize the impact of trauma, avoid re-traumatization, and center survivors’ voices in all we do.
