A friend of mine is hearing voices in her head. She's getting

Those sound like good ideas! A book of positive sayings, a photo of yourself that she can look at and keep, and your remaining in touch can all be helpful for her! If you hear of anything that interests her--like, say, flowers--a small gift of a living plant that she can watch flourish can also cheer her up! GL!!

thank you. I don't want it to come across as super soppy, or anything. But something small and physical she can hold does sound great.

I'm already helping her have something to focus on, by giving her some stuff that she can use to learn a language that she's said she's interested in.

But I was thinking something stupid, As an example, an origami lion to "scare the voices away"

But I don't know if that would come off as insensitive that it's not that easy

Giving her an Origami Lion can be a nice gesture--let HER decide that it's to "scare the voices away." Consider giving it as, "For strength and courage (...when things get rough)" or "Something to watch over you..." With gifts, watch her reactions carefully...don't give too many too soon or too close together, but when it's appropriate and when she seems receptive. Again, GL out there!!

Sounds like she just wants attention.

Well I figure a monthly letter/post?

But I don't really know how often I will get to see her in person. I hope often, but I am really unsure what will happen.

One day at a time...talk to her...send her a little something for encouragement...see how she responds to it...
