History
OPEN DOORS was founded in November 1984 in Ringwood, Victoria, Australia by local residents, Barry and Jenny Kearney, who were concerned about the lack of support in the area for those concerned with pregnancy and related issues. The development of preventive health education programs for schools followed as a natural corollary to the work of the counselling arm. In 1999 the work of the Centre was acknowledged when the immediate past Executive Director, Mrs. Jenny Kearney was awarded the medal of the Order of Australia for service to youth and to lifestyle education through OPEN DOORS Counselling and Educational Services.
