CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Industry mental health nonprofit Pineapple Support has welcomed Free Speech Coalition (FSC) into its fold as a partner-level sponsor. The trade association for the adult industry joins more than fifty adult businesses and organizations in committing funds and resources to the support outfit.
"As the trade association for the adult industry, it’s critical that we lift up other non-profits with our support," said Michelle L. LeBlanc, executive director of FSC. "In just a few years, Pineapple Support has done what so many promised to do: built a real, reliable resource for therapy and support for sex workers. We’re proud to sponsor them, and look forward to helping any way we can in this especially challenging time.”
“The generosity of the FSC and the continued support of the team is invaluable to our organization,” said Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit. “The Free Speech Coalition plays an incredibly important role in the continued wellbeing of not just individual performers, but they also contribute to the improved health of our entire industry. Our spending on therapy has tripled due to performers affected by COVID, so the support of all of our partners is crucial right now.”
Pineapple Support is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States and a registered charity in the U.K., and has so far connected more than 1,800 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.
Requests for therapy with Pineapple Support have nearly tripled in the last year, and have risen 65 percent in the past six months. To find out more about becoming a sponsor of Pineapple Support, click here.
