Resources
The SNAP ETAP resource library features a curated collection of resources that support the development, implementation, and evaluation of a whole-person approach, as well as provide background on the evolution of the status neutral and whole-person frameworks. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene first reframed the HIV care continuum as status neutral approaches to HIV prevention and care that include all people affected by HIV. Over time, the language and focus has evolved to a whole-person approach that continually addresses the healthcare and social service needs of all people who can benefit from HIV prevention and care services so that they can achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being.
