The Balanced Counseling Strategy (BCS) is a practical, interactive, client-friendly counseling strategy that uses three key job aids (visual memory aids) for counseling clients about family planning. The process, tested and refined in several countries, involves a set of steps to determine the method that best suits the client according to her/his preferences and reproductive health intentions.
The BCS approach is easy to adapt to local contexts, and the toolkit includes instructions for adaptation as well as a CD-ROM with electronic copies of the materials. The BCS tookit is available in English, French, and Spanish upon request from frontiers@popcouncil.org.
