LOS ANGELES—Pineapple Support, the mental health organization dedicated to the adult industry, is joining with camming network Streamate to host a wellness event May 18 to 20 featuring one-on-one sessions to help alleviate stress and anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event offers anyone in the industry the opportunity to schedule a free, 30-minute, one-on-one guided meditation session with Pineapple Support therapist Ingrid d’Aquin. She said the consultations will allow participants to “enjoy a moment of catharsis and leave the session with relaxation techniques you can start using immediately to calm and center yourself.”
D’Aquin will also be hosting a webinar on May 18 at 2 p.m. ET to discuss the effects of depression, anxiety and isolation.
“We are in unprecedented times and you are not alone if you are trying to figure out how you are going to see your way through the depression, anxiety and isolation,” she said. “Join us in this webinar where we will explore what makes a person resilient and learn simple take-home techniques to cultivate a stronger ability to bounce back and adapt to life’s fast balls.”

“The world as we know it has changed—at least for now,” says Liz, director of marketing at Streamate. “We are all learning to adjust, and some may be forgetting about self-care, an important part of our overall well-being. Streamate is not only proud to partner with Pineapple Support on this event, but feel it’s imperative to offer all individuals the ability to re-center and gain focus to combat loneliness during these interesting times.”
Leya Tanit, Pineapple Support’s founder, said the events will provide important information to industry members impacted by the current coronavirus crisis.
“COVID-19 has affected all of us, it is important to take time out, away from your daily stresses, and have a moment of calm, and the wellness event aims to provide those within the industry with just that,” Tanit said. “During each session Ingrid will guide you with breathing techniques and exercises that you can transfer to your daily routine.”
Pineapple Support was founded in 2018 by the British-born Tanit in response to losses in the adult industry from depression, addiction and other mental illnesses. The organization is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit in the United States and a registered charity in the UK, which has connected more than 1,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.
