Updates on progress were given from all three Highlands Hope sites. It was agreed that nurse-counsellors share common difficulties which they would like to solve together. Learning from each other is the network's main goal.

The members of the network also discussed at length the need for basic knowledge of computers which would help them in their work and with their reporting systems. It was agreed that a plan would be made for counsellors to learn computer skills at Ikonda where they have a class in computer technology and teachers. The chairperson, Betty Liduke, expressed a hope that this could start soon.
