Crisis Centers help people in their time of need. Sometimes it is an addiction problem and sometimes it is a severe depression issues or perhaps abuse issue brought on by another who maybe suffering from one of those problems. Crisis Centers need our help and some members of our society need their help too.
In fact, crisis centers must maintain community goodwill otherwise they cannot administer that help when it is most critical. If no one seeks help it is nearly impossible to render it and the results would be short lived even if they did. This is why crisis centers need a strong public relations program.
How can a public relations campaign be waged without causing more animosity and conflict? Some citizens do not want the dirt under the carpet removed and therefore do not want these things addressed. But if the public relations and community goodwill program is done properly this will not be an issue.
It is important for Crisis Centers to do public relations on a low-key basis but also get to those they need to in order to avert disasters for those individuals and family. A positive public relations program for a crisis center can also get volunteers to join who also wish to help and this also helps spread the word of mouth advertising about the crisis center.
It also makes for good public-relations stories. Such as the mother who lost a son due to drug abuse and is now volunteering to help end the crisis center to do something about the horrible problem. Open communication lines with the local media can do wonders to promote a crisis center. Perhaps you will consider this in 2006.
