Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health resource, will host a seven-week sex worker support group in conjunction with Connective Therapy. Beginning on Monday, December 2nd, the weekly support group will focus on performer well-being, and be facilitated by sex therapists Angie Gunn and Raquel Savage.
The group is free for women and femmes in the industry and is inclusive of all types of sex work, focusing on the complex needs of those in the field. The conversations will be collaborative and interactive, addressing trauma, relationships, emotions, and navigating personal well-being and work sustainability.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch this new initiative, aimed at providing further support to sex workers,” says Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit. “Angie and Raquel both have a wealth of experience which will be invaluable for those looking for help navigating the complexities of life as a sex worker. We made the decision to close the group at ten participants to ensure a close-knit community for the duration of this seven-week course.”
Pineapple Support was founded in 2018 by Tanit, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organisation has so far connected over five hundred adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.
The group sessions will meet on Mondays at 2pm EST. The course starts on December 2nd, with breaks for the holidays. The first ten qualifying applicants will be admitted to the closed group and take part in all sessions. To reserve your place, please visit https://pineapplesupport.org/support-groups.
