Abstract

This article describes an innovative art therapy group intervention for adolescent girls age 14 to 16 with mental health problems. The group takes place in a community mental health clinic and uses origami and mindfulness to provide a safe, therapeutic space. Participant feedback reveals positive outcomes, demonstrating helpful changes to mood and feelings after group participation. Results suggest origami to be a useful art therapy activity with this population.
