“We’re proud to support Pineapple as they work to provide guidance, validation, and understanding to the performers in our industry,” says David Aguilar, President of Flirt4Free. “Every human being needs support, particularly those whose occupational stigma can blind the general public to the dynamic, creative, and passionate people they are.”
“Chaturbate is proud to sponsor the Navigating Relationships wellness event with Pineapple Support, says Shirley Lara, Chief Operations Officer of Chaturbate. “The health and wellness of the Chaturbate community is a top priority and we encourage everyone to attend this event for guidance on how to create and foster a healthy relationship.”
Pineapple 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 organisation, which is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has so far connected over 5,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.
“No matter which industry you work in or what you do, finding and maintaining relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be a challenge,” says Tanit. “Add the complications and unique stressors of working in the adult industry and the prospect can sometimes feel out of reach. These webinars will help adult workers navigate and thrive in their personal lives.”
The two-day “Navigating Relationships” event takes place on Wednesday August 25th from 1pm PST and Thursday August 26th at 1pm EST. For more information and to secure a place, visit Pineapple Support.
