LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support will host a free online support group for performers and creators, focusing on the challenges of coming out — whether as LGBTQ+, a sex worker, or something else.
The six-week “Coming Out” support group will be led by Pineapple Support therapist Amy Studer and will begin on Tuesday at 9 a.m. (PST). Sessions will last for around one hour and will take place online each Tuesday at the same time, until November 12.
“This safe and supportive virtual space to discuss intricacies of ‘coming out’ in personal and professional spheres,” said Studer. “From establishing trust and understanding challenges to developing effective communication strategies, each week delves into key aspects of disclosure. Participants will be able to engage in insightful discussions, effective problem solving and practical homework assignments to empower their journey towards authenticity.”
Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit said, “Coming out can be a daunting process, especially when it intersects with your professional life. Pineapple Support is dedicated to creating spaces where performers can connect and receive the guidance they need to embrace their true selves. We are incredibly grateful to be able to offer this kind of vital support.”
