Examples of what this might involve:

1. 

• A comprehensive workforce development plan.
• A training needs assessment, including levels of current staff capacity to deliver training, support and supervision, and coaching.
• Protected time for staff to participate in continuous professional development. The formation of teaching and peer support networks for staff from both mental health and substance use services, that allows for discussion of topics relevant to supporting co-occurring conditions.
• Shadowing opportunities, secondments, and opportunities for staff to rotate between services.

2. 

Regular networking opportunities through routine activity such as joint meetings, training and case discussions.

3. 

Exploration of co-location opportunities (e.g. mental health and substance use services located within one building; third sector service having one day a week within a statutory service).
