In addressing the grand challenge to build healthy relationships to end violence, social workers continue to engage in helping individuals affected by intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV often results in negative mental health and physical health outcomes. This qualitative study explored Latina immigrant women’s experiences of IPV by using an intersectional Chicana feminist approach. Twenty Latina undocumented immigrants who experienced IPV shared their testimonio interviews to denounce the injustices they experienced when seeking help. A narrative analysis is presented to illustrate some of the ineffective responses the participants experienced when seeking help as well as effective responses that provided them support. The analysis of the survivors’ testimonios also offered detailed stories to help us understand the intersectional experiences related to the survivors’ gender, ethnicity, social class, and undocumented immigration status when seeking help. Providing support to Latina immigrant survivors requires a better understanding of the unique help-seeking barriers they encounter in the United States. Implications from this study suggest that in order to effectively support the health of undocumented survivors of IPV, social workers need to consider trust building and be prepared to respond to the current political climate and institutional barriers when providing services for undocumented immigrant survivors.

在应对建立健康关系以消除暴力的巨大挑战时，社会工作者继续致力于帮助受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）影响的个人。IPV通常导致负面的心理健康和身体健康结果。这项定性研究通过使用交叉的Chicana女权主义方法探索了拉丁美洲移民妇女的IPV经历。二十名经历过IPV的拉丁裔无证移民分享了他们的证词采访，以谴责他们寻求帮助时所遭受的不公正待遇。叙述性分析旨在说明参与者寻求帮助时遇到的一些无效回应，以及为他们提供支持的有效回应。对幸存者证言的分析还提供了详细的故事，以帮助我们在寻求帮助时了解与幸存者的性别，种族，社会阶层和无证件移民身份有关的相交经历。向拉美裔移民幸存者提供支持需要更好地了解他们在美国遇到的独特求助障碍。这项研究的含义表明，为了有效地支持IPV无证幸存者的健康，社会工作者在为无证移民幸存者提供服务时，需要考虑建立信任，并准备应对当前的政治气候和体制障碍。向拉美裔移民幸存者提供支持需要更好地了解他们在美国遇到的独特求助障碍。这项研究的含义表明，为了有效地支持IPV无证幸存者的健康，社会工作者在为无证移民幸存者提供服务时，需要考虑建立信任，并准备应对当前的政治气候和体制障碍。向拉美裔移民幸存者提供支持需要更好地了解他们在美国遇到的独特求助障碍。这项研究的含义表明，为了有效地支持IPV无证幸存者的健康，社会工作者在为无证移民幸存者提供服务时，需要考虑建立信任，并准备应对当前的政治气候和体制障碍。
