Discussion
Being a vulnerable community, Wyndham faces so many challenges in different
areas, comparing to the Greater Melbourne and Victoria. They used to suffer from mental
illness of social discrimination. The discriminating attitude and systems towards them put
them into the darkness of being the consumers of lower range materials, infrastructures and
non-adequate government aids. The negative impact of being a discriminated community
used to affect their relationships (Steers et al, 2019). The health and pharmaceutical
commodities are also remain ineffective sometimes, especially in the north and west
catchments. The policies of government sometime led them to so many difficulties as they
are more deprived and insignificant community. They sometimes marked as intelligent and
efficient as the Victorian and Greater Melbourne people, but as the people of an
undistinguished part of the country they faces unemployment problems in their society
(www.wyndham.vic.gov.au.,2020). The high rate of unemployment force them to be the
financially weaker section of the country. The economical deflation is one of the toughest
barriers in their lives. All the above discussed problems are some reasons of the prevalence
depression and anxiety in the habitants of Wyndham City. These psychological health issues

led them to the wrong habits of alcohol addiction and smoking (Thombs & Osborn, 2019). As
the dominant people of the country they do not get the advantages to consult the counsellors
or psychiatrist or psychologist practising in the big cities who usually have the large amount
of patients (wyndham-digital.iconagency.com.au.,2020). Neither the famous ones nor the
infamous ones helps them to heal the psychological health issues of their lives. The
government also do not use to care about their mental illness so much, as the seriousness of
this problem remains underrated as their lives.
Building Healthy principles
In Wyndham City, the mental health of women and the young people are affected by
different reasons. The young people and women are affected by poor mental health due to
unemployment, lack of health education and much alcohol abusesled the habitants and their
lives in a miserable condition(whwest.org.au.,2020). Seeing their social conditions the young
group of the community are also getting affected in their social life, career foundations and
intelligence. They are also not getting employed after trying hard due to lack education,
skills, and social discrimination.Due to lack of health literacy the vulnerable group of people
suffering from chronic health diseases and leading unhealthy lifestyle. Therefore, policies
like mental health first aid standards should be implemented
Strengthen the supportive environments
As the mental health of the different gender works differently, the importance of
mental wellbeing is more important in the matter of gender equity. The gender equity is much
affected in this community as the women are generally faces violence and oppressions by the
male and intimate partners and they are generally killed by them in every four to five days of
week, according to a report of 2015(Kittay, 2019). Limited access to the resources, poverty,
social isolation and economical discrimination women generally faces low mental health

conditions. According to a report of 2011, only 49.2 percents of women of the Wyndham
City’s habitants were participated in citizen engagement activities. The women of Wyndham
City undertake unpaid works than men. Example- 29.1 percent of women compared to 21.1
per cent of men reported undertaking unpaid childcare. The young people faces different
social circumstances. Bullying, homelessness, unemployment, alcohol and substance abuse,
lack of access to essential commodities and facilities have made them vulnerable group of the
Wyndham community. 52.6 percent of young people are addicted to alcohol, 17.9 per cents
addicted to smoking, 32.6 per cent are affected with substance abuse (wyndhamclinic.com.au.
,2020). The government should build permanent shelters for the young inhabitants. They
should have the access towardstheir educational and career developments. The Wyndham
City government have already developed a website to enhance the social access of the young
population, so they have to use the website for developing their mental health and social
positions.
Reorienting Health services
Mental health of young people needs to be taken care by the nurses with holistic and
integrated service provision. Increasing capacity of early interventions for young people,
increase the funding for a youth triage and assessing the needs of this population will help in
reorientation of service provision. Relationship among different level intervention providers
will enhance the service provision with respect support system. Community based detox and
rehabilitation programmes should be promoted by the government and private healthcare
providers. Educational programme for young people are mandatory recommendation for
reducing binge drinking and substance abuse to improve healthy lifestyle. The social stigma
eradication can also be helpful in health service reorientation.
