AOD workers	MH literacy, psychiatric diagnosis, MH involuntary treatment frameworks, suicide risk assessment	MH system navigation, crisis intervention skills	Strong harm reduction philosophy, less MH training
MH workers	Addiction terminology, withdrawal management, harm reduction principles	Physiological aspects of addiction, AOD treatment modalities	Strong clinical training, limited understanding of addiction as a chronic condition
