✔️ 73% of the AOD workforce are women
✔️ 44% have lived or living experience of AOD use
✔️ Half of services struggle to recruit and retain staff
✔️ 60% of workers reported high levels of job-related stress
✔️ Most workers wanted more training in trauma-informed care, cultural safety, and leadership
