Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health resource, will hold a free weekly drop-in support group, open to all online adult industry professionals, beginning tonight. The weekly meeting, facilitated on a rotating basis by Pineapple Support counselors Nicki Line LMHC & Jasmine Johnson LCSW, will take place online at 7pm EST every Monday night and will last for 90 minutes.
“This group can be used as a supplement to individual counseling or on its own to gain insight from peers and licensed professionals,” says Line, a licensed mental health counselor with extensive training in clinical sexology and addiction, as well as experience counseling in in-patient and private practice settings. “It is meant to be a safe place to express issues or problems an individual may be having in their life at the time and to find additional support.”
“In my therapy sessions, we’ll work to solve current problems and improve positive thinking and behavior,” says Johnson, a licensed clinical therapist with an emphasis on intimacy post-injury and illness, trauma, and kink- and sex-positive parenting. “These groups are going to be the perfect opportunity for any adult performer to receive support, without commitment.”
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 and a registered charity in the UK, has so far connected over 1800 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.
“This is a drop-in group so there is not a requirement to stay for a certain number of weeks or sessions, and the group members may change from week to week,” says Tanit. “This group is open to all online adult industry professionals, so we invite anyone that wants to receive support in a safe space.”
