LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support, a nonprofit organization that provides access to mental health services for adult performers, is reminding those involved in the industry that it provides free 24/7 emotional support from trained listeners.
As the holidays near, performers who wish to access such support can do so by visiting PineappleSupport.com and clicking the “get support” button.
Pineapple Support was launched by British Performer Leya Tanit in 2018 in response to the string of tragic and unnecessary loss of life in the adult industry from issues related to mental health. The non-profit organization focuses solely on mental health by providing psychotherapy, counseling and emotional support to persons working in the adult industry who are in need of help but unable to acquire it on their own.
“In our initial phase of development, Pineapple Support has established itself as a safe and reliable place for performers to be heard, valued and understood,” Tanit said. “Now we are working toward becoming a global point of reference for the world outside of adult, as a foundation for understanding what needs to be done to support those who provide joy and entertainment to so many. Eventually we aspire to end the stigma associated with mental health issues and sex work on broader societal levels.”
