Puppet shows to provide Open Door for child victims of domestic violence

CHILDREN who have been abused or have witnessed domestic violence are to be counselled with the help of puppets.

The Open Door Network — a Kerry-based group that helps women and children who have been abused — is to put on special puppet shows to help children come to terms with their experiences and discuss their problems more openly.

The shows will travel to women’s refuges, treatment centres and social work departments in the coming months.
