Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, welcomes Playboy as a support-level sponsor. The leading adult brand joins over fifty adult businesses and organizations in committing funds and resources to the organization.
“Pineapple Support provides a vital service for those in sex worker industry,” says Holly, Playboy’s Associate Director of Subscriptions. “We feel honored to partner up with such an organization. Mental health is something that had been overlooked in the industry before Pineapple Support. We look forward to working closely with them and bringing the issues to light and getting everyone the support they need!”
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 registered 501(c)3 nonprofit in the United States and a registered charity in the UK, has so far connected over 1500 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.
“We are extremely grateful to Playboy for their support,” says Tanit. “Having such a globally recognized adult brand means so much to an organization like ours, and helps take away some of the stigma from mental health. Our spending on therapy tripled due to COVID-19, with requests for therapy having risen 65% in the past 6 months alone, so support from our partners is critical to meet that need.”
