The data were studied according to the content analysis research method and discussed in accordance with the Bioecological Theory of Human Development. The service was ranked positively and the interactions between professionals and violence-victim women favored proximal processes that yielded positive changes in the personal characteristics of the service users, strengthening relationships they had with their families and other contexts. Conclusions unveiled that the service turned out to be part of the socio-emotional support network for these women, acting as a significant microsystem that favored their development facing the condition of violence.
