Women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and gambling harm often have complex support needs. Yet, little is known about their experiences of using health and social support services. In this study, interviews took place with 48 women who experienced IPV linked to a male partner’s gambling and 24 women who experienced IPV linked to their own gambling. The aim of this study was to identify how services could be strengthened to better meet the needs of these women. Three themes were identified. The first theme was the need for integrated and holistic responses from services. The second theme was the need for person-centred, trauma-informed support. The third theme was the value of practical support and strategies from services.
