Abstract Even though too many volunteers are not good in a crisis intervention, without crisis intervention there would be many people helpless in a crisis because trained professionals and volunteers assist people in crisis and networking and collaboration with other agencies is important. In any crisis, it is better to be proactive than reactive This paper is about future trends in crisis intervention but no one knows what the future holds, especially when there are so many cutbacks in programs.

crisis intervention.
Involvement of Communities Communities will be more into crisis intervention because communities are
protecting their own with Neighborhood Watch and in the future they will be more
protective of people in their community. Many people are volunteering more and some
volunteers will be helping in crisis intervention. “Crisis intervention begins at the first
moment of contact with clients. Consequently, community coordination in its planning
