Mental Health Prevention: Prevalence + Productivity

⚠ 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

Mental health debates emphasized prevention and early intervention beyond treatment. Workplace mental health discussions connected to productivity losses. Mental health prevalence reduction requires upstream investment in community programs, social connection, and early intervention. Chain: mental_health_spending -> mental_health_prevalence (-0.15, d8), mental_health_improvement -> productivity_loss_mental_health (-0.20, d12).

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 71). 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.
