Zusammenfassung:Engaging with formal intimate partner violence (IPV) services can buffer the impacts of violence and reduce future risk. Many survivors do not access or engage with such services. However, much of our knowledge related to the experiences and perspectives of IPV survivors comes from samples drawn from those seeking formal services.

Themes emerged within the categories of formal help-seeking experiences, informal help seeking, and recommendations for providers.
