Pineapple Support Launches ADHD Support Group |
LOS ANGELESâAdult industry mental health nonprofit Pineapple Support will be hosting a free online support group for individuals with ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and individuals wanting to learn more about how to support those affected by the disorder, sponsored by Clips4Sale. The six-week support group, âHow ADHD Can Be Your Super Powerâ will be led by Pineapple therapist Moushumi Ghose.âLearning the basics about ADHD, its symptoms, related diagnoses, and treatment options can be a game-changer both for those with ADHD, as well as those that want to support others with the disorder better,â said Pineapple therapist Michele Green. âUsing therapy, medication and non-medication options, the goal is to learn to look at ADHD with a positive perspective and a new lens.âPineapple Support was founded by British performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 10,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.âA better understanding of ADHD, and the way its traits are perceived, can be hugely beneficial,â said Tanit. âWhen we change the way we think about ADHD, we can support ourselves and others in a way thatâs free from shame and judgment. Knowing how to advocate for yourself and ask for the support you need can pave the path towards living a more meaningful life with ADHD.âThe support group begins on Tuesday, April 18 at 4:00 p.m. ET. Sessions will last for around one hour and will take place online each Tuesday at the same time until May 23.
