The Center for Prevention and Advocacy (CPA) leads the efforts of Southern University at New Orleans to create a community that is free of sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, sexual harassment, and other related experiences. Our prevention work is focused on addressing root causes of harm and collaborating with our community to create a culture of consent, respect, and healthy relationships. Our survivor advocacy work seeks to create an environment that is physically and emotionally safe, calm, and secure. We recognize the importance of trauma-informed care and acknowledge the power this strategy has in the lives of the people with whom we work. We strive to establish healing, hopeful, honest, equitable and trusting relationships with all involved. To all survivors within our community: WE START BY BELIVEING.

We envision a SUNO community free of violence and harassment. We strive for a community grounded in respect, support, and social justice.

Where is the CPA located?

We are located in the SUNO Millie M. Charles School of Social Work on the second level suite "242.”
