The main purpose of the public writing products is to create a knowledgeable base into the issue of stigmatization. Society is impacted either directly or indirectly by stigmatization of certain factions of the community. One such fraction is the population suffering from mental illnesses. Stigma drives these individuals to shying away from seeking treatment of their conditions which could lead to deterioration of their health conditions. Efficient production in a country can only be achieved through a health and wellness. Depression, anxiety, stress disorders and other forms of mental illnesses are characteristics of an unhealthy nation. Productivity ensures increased income levels and better levels of living. The desire to equip the society with information concerning the entire issue of wellness through instructors and students drives my investigation. The writing provides an efficient knowledgeable base through learning institutions.
The products incorporate the instructor and student at the same time to ensure consistency in the flow of information. The products present a clear and comprehendible program to be used in guiding the tutors on how to relay information to learners.

The manner in which the instructor will teach the contents depends on personal interpretation. However, the contents revolve around the main topic thus the interpretation is not a hindrance to resolving the societal issue. My hope and desire is for the program to go beyond the learning institution since the issue of stigma is a crucial issue impacting on the poverty levels across the globe. The potential audience therefore includes the entire global population except for children below ten years who may be unable to comprehend the issue of mental illnesses leave alone stigmatization and its effects on poverty.
