| Introduction: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) significantly affects women’s mental health, increasing risks of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Community-based mental health care offers accessible, culturally sensitive support for survivors, termed “double victims” due to their dual burden of abuse and mental health challenges. This study explores the efficacy of such programs, focusing on global and Iranian contexts. Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted using recent studies on IPV and mental health interventions. Data from community-based programs in Uganda, Iran, and Turkey were analyzed, focusing on peer-led support, integrated care models, and cultural adaptations. Barriers and strategies were evaluated through systematic reviews and case studies. Results: Community-based programs reduced depression by 30% in Uganda and psychological distress by 25% in Iran. However, rural access, stigma, and limited training on non-physical abuse remain barriers. Culturally tailored interventions and peer support improved outcomes. Conclusion: Community-based care enhances mental health support for IPV survivors, but scalability requires funding, training, and cultural adaptations, particularly in Iran. | ||
