Specification¶
The full specification below is extracted from Chapter 5: Mental Health and Crisis Support.
Type: graph-model
**sim-id:** mental-health-treatment-pathway-map<br/>
**Library:** vis-network<br/>
**Status:** Specified
Bloom Taxonomy Level: Analyze (L4)
Bloom Verb: examine, organize, differentiate
Learning objective: Students examine how different treatment options
(therapy types, medication, school-based support, community resources)
relate to one another and organize which combination best fits a given
scenario's needs and access constraints.
Node types:
1. Central node: "Person Seeking Mental Health Support" (blue circle)
2. Treatment-category nodes (green squares): Talk Therapy, Medication,
School-Based Support, Community/Telehealth Resources
3. Sub-nodes under Talk Therapy (light green circles): CBT, Interpersonal
Therapy, Group Therapy
4. Access-point node (gold diamond): "988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline —
Immediate Support"
Edge types:
- "Can Access" (solid arrows from central node to each treatment-category
node and the access-point node)
- "Includes" (solid arrows from Talk Therapy to each therapy sub-node)
Layout: Radial, central node in the middle, treatment categories
surrounding it, sub-nodes one ring further out
Interactive features:
- Hover any node: shows a one-sentence definition
- Click a treatment-category node: opens a side panel describing what it
involves, who provides it, and a realistic access barrier and how to
address it
- Click the 988 node: opens a panel emphasizing it is free, confidential,
available 24/7, and appropriate for both crisis and non-crisis support
questions
- Drag, zoom, and pan enabled
Legend: color/shape key for central node, treatment categories,
sub-options, and the crisis-access node
Implementation: vis-network, radial layout, click-triggered side panel
