Introduction
The life threatened disease COVID-19 had stepped into the Earth and ruined the lives of human beings specially the children belonging to the minority groups who were affected not only physically but also mentally an
d psychologically. The symptoms for this virus are found to be mild in nature but it has a long-term effect on the human beings especially to those who have low immune body system. Suicide is the basic activity found among the Aboriginal minority group as of poverty, unemployment, which are occurring in the present days due to COVID-19. This research paper will highlight the support for suicide prevention and initiate program by mitigating the concept of Covid -19.
Major Issues for which Suicide Occurs in Kimberley:
After the effect of colonisation, the overall aspects of Indigenous Aboriginal people’s health as well as their wellbeing started affecting not only their physical health, but also their spiritual, mental as well as emotional fitness. From certain evidence, the minority population in Kimberley experiences the inappropriate significance of ill health as of substandard medical facilities, poor educational system and poverty.
These populations therefore, suffers a lot from obtaining any kind of employment, which thereby affect their incoming source. Most of the illness experienced by these Indigenous group of people include diabetes, obesities, mal nourishments, cardiovascular diseases, post-traumatic stress disorders, mental health issues, cultural effects such as the change in the spiritual beliefs, depreciations of traditional knowledge and languages. Social effects include violence, effect on gender role, domestic violence, child rearing and trafficking.
The Indigenous peoples are often regarded as underclass and deprived people as they lack employment, lower income level, blackish culture and poor cultural development. These peoples lack employments, as proper deserving facilities are not provided to upgrade themselves in order to cope up with the Australian culture. The woman here had to work hard to earn something to provide some food and other necessities to their children. Even the children here are also socially abused by the non-Indigenous groups, as an outcome of which, they suffer from psychological, emotional, sexual and spiritual abuses. Thereby, they experience to undergo certain criminal activities and in turn affect their morality rate, creates health problem, substance abuses and disintegration with their family as well as society and as a result they commit suicide.
As stated by Salinas-Perez et al. (2020), as an outcome of high intensity of depression, the children belonging to these minority groups easily get involved in substance abuses and get addicted to various drugs, alcohol. They experience different form of social abuses, sexual harassment, emotional and mental abuses and many more. Some researchers often termed these phase as “copying mechanism”. In term of gender and racial perspectives the woman as well as the girls in this regard suffers the most, as they had to face the domestic violence and gender inequality on a regular basis while attending the school.
Aboriginal group of women are subjected in several forms of discrimination with no rights to take their own life decisions. The mental health illness includes, substance abuse, which arises out of over consumptions of drugs and alcohols, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, paranoia, personality disorder, attention disability and psychological and nervous disorders.
Due to all these mental illnesses, the victims are often found to commit suicide or take several attempts to commit suicide in order to get rid of the miserable condition. Therefore, keeping in mind the above perspectives and the miserable conditions of these deprived people certain programs with planning are initiated to support suicide prevention acknowledging the Covid- 19 situations. The planning should be well structured, relevant and closely related to the above- mentioned issues and find out the best solution of this major problem.
Program Development
Before initiating certain programs related in support to suicide prevention let us fist have a glance what the Australian government had did to improve the health condition of these deprived peoples. The Aboriginal Torres Strait Islanders Suicide Prevention Evaluation Project (ATSISPEP) is an important initiation by the Australian government to identify what are the issues that are influencing the minority group of people to commit suicide and accordingly act on it.
Several suicide prevention programs aim and encourage at increasing community participation and local capacity that have been developed and implemented...
