CAMPAIGNERS say more needs to be done to support young girls struggling with their mental health during lockdown. Rites for Girls, a mentoring charity based in East Grinstead, say girls across Sussex are reporting increased anxiety during pandemic because of restricted social contact, interrupted schooling and uncertainty over the future. The charity says it is launching a six-week online programme named The Girls’ Net, which aims to help girls deal with change to help to combat what it calls a “mental health crisis”. Kim McCabe, founder of Rites for Girls, said: “The Girls’ Net programme is designed to support whether your daughter is about to start a new school or is struggling with anxiety about growing up and the impacts of the pandemic.”
