A consistent barrier to seeking health services at clinics is the negative treatment clients receive by health providers. This often keeps clients away from clinics, causing them to delay or abandon treatment for illnesses. To address this problem, Another Option has developed the Interpersonal Communication Skills for Providers: In-Service Training Guide for Health Providers.

The guide presents the barriers to IPC and ways to improve communication with clients.
