Adult industry mental health nonprofit Pineapple Support has announced the organization will soon host a free online support group “focused on navigating transitional and liminal spaces.” The six-week support group, “Sweet Surrender: Embracing Transitions,” will be led by Pineapple Support therapist Dr. L.A. McCrae and will begin Tuesday, November 4 at 4pm EST.
“This group is a brave space where we’ll embrace the unknown together and explore the beautiful chaos that transitions can offer,” McCrae said. “Through bibliotherapy, somatic resonance, dream integration, and sand play, we’ll support one another through the uncertainties of change and the sacred liminality that often arises during this time of year. Participants can expect a grounded, interactive experience rooted in curiosity, connection, and care.”
Founded by British performer Leya Tanit in 2018 after a tragic series of losses within the adult industry community stemming from depression and other mental health struggles, Pineapple Support is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. To date, the organization reports that it has “connected over 16,000 adult performers to free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support.”
“Transitions can be some of the most difficult and yet most transformative moments in our lives,” Tanit observed. “This support group offers performers the tools and companionship they need to navigate those moments with grace and intention. Dr. McCrae brings a unique, deeply healing approach that we are proud to make available to our community.”
According to the announcement, each session in the Sweet Surrender support group will last 60 to 90 minutes and will take place online every Tuesday at the same time – 1pm PST, 4pm EST and 10pm CET.
