STEPS to Care Toolkit Training

There is no stand-alone training currently available for the STEPS to Care Toolkit; however, information on how to use the STEPS to Care Toolkit for patient navigation is covered in the HIV Navigation Services classroom training course. Programs implementing the STEPS to Care Toolkit may suggest that staff take select Passport to Partner Services online modules to build or refine skills in communication, providing linkage and referrals, and promoting medication adherence. Passport to Partner Services modules are available on CDC TRAIN.

Technical assistance for implementation of the STEPS to Care Toolkit is available.

To request technical assistance:

1. CDC’s directly funded health department and CBO partners may request technical assistance by submitting a request in the CBA Tracking System.
2. Organizations not directly funded by CDC may contact their local health department for assistance in submitting a request.

If you have questions or need additional assistance, please contact HIVCBA@cdc.gov.
