Pineapple Support was founded by 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 14,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support. “Loneliness is a significant issue in our increasingly digital world, particularly for those in the adult industry who often work in isolation,” said Tanit. “I’m extremely grateful to the generous sponsors of this event that have made it possible for us to come together, share experiences, and explore ways to foster connections that can improve our mental health and overall well-being.” Those who wish to attend should register for each webinar individually.
