Las declaraciones de creencias del Proyecto DOVE
​
Creemos que la violencia tiene sus raÃces en los sistemas de racismo y opresión. Creemos que cada miembro de la comunidad es capaz de reconocer y ser responsable del papel que juega dentro de los sistemas de privilegio y opresión. Creemos que esto requiere desafiar ese statu quo.
​
Creemos que una comprensión informada y compasiva del trauma es la base de la atención en nuestra comunidad.
​
Creemos que para servir mejor a nuestra comunidad, debemos dedicarnos al autoaprendizaje y al crecimiento.
​
Creemos que nuestra comunidad puede ser una comunidad donde apoyamos las elecciones de los sobrevivientes sin juzgar.
​
Creemos que nuestra comunidad puede ser una que respete, valore y promueva relaciones y comunicaciones sanas y no violentas.
​
Creemos que una comunidad saludable es aquella en la que cada miembro tiene un papel que desempeñar, ya sea directa o indirectamente, en la prevención, reducción o detención del daño interpersonal.
​
Nos esforzamos por presentarnos con integridad, autenticidad y transparencia.

Cate O'Kane
​Justine is an islander at heart, but only recently moved here six years ago. She is mother to an artist and VISD student, and partner to a Vashon author. Her life on the island is not at all what her younger self envisioned for life, and she loves that the unexpected has turned out so well. She feels lucky for the peace and happiness that she enjoys, and has joined the board to do what she can to help others build that for themselves. Justine is enthusiastic about DOVE's youth programs and teaching our kids how to manage their own happiness and defend their boundaries. She believes in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, and the profound importance of community.
