\n\t\t\tAbout Wholistic Care\t<\/h2>\n\t

Wholistic care actively recognizes the layered and intersecting determinants that impact HIV related health and wellness. Wholistic care was described as including physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and community-based elements of well-being.<\/p>\n

Women and gender-diverse people noted care should be:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. trauma-informed;<\/li>\n
  2. genuinely compassionate;<\/li>\n
  3. culturally inclusive; and<\/li>\n
  4. focused on women and gender-diverse people’s autonomy and self-determination to make informed decisions about their health regardless of gender identity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In some cases, wholistic health was linked to “one stop shop” or “hub” models where women and gender-diverse people are able to access multiple services that address their various needs in one space, while for others it was about fostering wrap-around, collaborative models of care. System navigation through warm referrals and care linkages were frequently cited. Understanding systemic barriers for women and gender-diverse people facing structural risk for HIV was key.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More in our Latest Report\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\"icon_stethoiscope\"\n\t\t51%\n\t\t\t\t\t51% of women and gender-diverse people interviewed during WHAI’s community consultations indicated that they have not been able to, or have only somewhat been able to access the health care and support services they need (n=101).1<\/sup>\n\t\t\t\t\"icon_grouplove\"\n\t\t100%\n\t\t\t\t\t100% of WHAI sites indicated that wholistic care is a priority area for their community capacity building work (n=16).2<\/sup>\n
