Youth Mental Health Investment: $5.5B

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Impact figures are simulation model outputs from the Ducklings causal engine (BFS cascade, 3-hop depth, strength-weighted edges). They represent projected effects, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Integrated youth mental health hubs in every province, school-based counselling, digital mental health platforms. Chain: youth_mental_health -> education_outcomes (+0.25, d4). Mental health directly predicts school performance, graduation rates, and future earning potential. The human capital pipeline starts with wellbeing.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 45). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
