OARS is a skills-based, client-centered model of interactive techniques. These skills include verbal and non-verbal responses and behaviors that need to be culturally sensitive and appropriate. This model integrates the five principles of providing quality counseling from the QFP recommendations. Using these skills will help establish and maintain rapport with your client, assess your client’s needs, and personalize your counseling and education responses.
