Summary:Health care and other human services such as education are diverse in many substantive aspects. However, arguably, they all use the skills training of service users to accomplish at least some of their key aims. This brief article uses a selective literature review and a comparative analysis to review the commonalities of skills training of service users in health care and education in order to illustrate and argue for the importance of a skills training approach in health care and other human services (recognizing that complementary approaches such as support provision are needed too and that not all service users need skills training). Research and development is needed in this area.
