5. Health
Health problems can be addressed through changing the environment in the remote communities. The youth development strategies outlined herein can address some of the environmental factors behind the poor health of the youth of the Indigenous population. This can be done through a range of measures from promoting good nutrition through cooking activities, the provision of chilled filtered water as an alternative to sugar soft drinks, wholesome exercise and mental stimulation, the provision of a base for outreach work by health professionals, the provision of skilled and supported youth workers who can address the general welfare of the children in the programs, and the development of work and education opportunities over time that can lead to healthier lifestyles. Likewise, the alcohol supply restrictions proposed in section 9 below would have very positive effects on the health of the community, as well as increasing the peace and safety.
