“A whole ball of all-togetherness”: The interwoven experiences of intimate partner violence, brain injury, and mental health
Recognition of BI as a contributing factor shaping the lived experience of IPV survivors; acknowledgement that the impacts of IPV, BI, and mental health are far reaching and long lasting; and reducing barriers to finding and accessing appropriate care are critical to better supporting IPV survivors with BI and mental health concerns. Clinicians should consider BI and its lingering impacts among the IPV survivors with whom they work. Health and social policy that supports integration of care and the reduction of unnecessary barriers should be a priority.
