HERON Origami was launched on World Mental Health Day 2019 at a Maudsley Charity event in south London.

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures. 

Origami is a great way to help manage stress. It engages both the mind and hands to produce a calming effect.

Following a successful initial workshop, additional workshops were held for staff at King’s College London and for mental health nurses at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust.
