“As a member of the Summerville Community, it is a pleasure to be working with the Dignity Project Team. Our work revolves around solidifying a foundation to expand dignity through mutual respect. We understand that where there is a foundation of mutual respect there is a higher probability of understanding and unity. My husband and I are particularly impressed by the level of collaborative transparency and the willingness of this impressive community team to share hard experiences. We then look at ways in which past experiences influence our thoughts and behaviors. The results of our collaborative discussions enable us to encourage an understanding of positive interaction, and subsequently develop community resources relevant to our town.” – Dr. Hester Young, Dignity Project Team Member
