Presentation Abstract
The United Nations outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals to facilitate the growth of the world in a sustainable manner. As an intern through the United Nations Youth Corps Program, I witnessed the importance of a small business giving back to its community and how visuals for marketing a business can have an effect on consumers. I researched Georgetown County's mental health crisis and how low-income, food insecurity, and lack of access to health care in the area are all leading factors in the depletion of the community's good health and well-being (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3). Within this presentation, my role as a Graphic Designer will support a business' plan to aid those in need of mental health care. Within my role, I utilize design and branding strategies that advertise and promote the message around mental health with increasing effectiveness. Overall, the examination of the business "Salty Mile" and it's plan, better supports the facilitation of mental health and well-being in the Georgetown area.

Improving the Mental Health Crisis in Georgetown County Through a Small Business Lens
The United Nations outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals to facilitate the growth of the world in a sustainable manner. As an intern through the United Nations Youth Corps Program, I witnessed the importance of a small business giving back to its community and how visuals for marketing a business can have an effect on consumers. I researched Georgetown County's mental health crisis and how low-income, food insecurity, and lack of access to health care in the area are all leading factors in the depletion of the community's good health and well-being (United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3). Within this presentation, my role as a Graphic Designer will support a business' plan to aid those in need of mental health care. Within my role, I utilize design and branding strategies that advertise and promote the message around mental health with increasing effectiveness. Overall, the examination of the business "Salty Mile" and it's plan, better supports the facilitation of mental health and well-being in the Georgetown area.
