This year’s Pineapple Summit is in memory of Dr. Amie Harwick, a Pineapple Support therapist who lost her life tragically earlier this year.
“The Pineapple Summit will have some of the top therapists and experts from around the globe discussing different aspects of mental and physical health, therapy and coping skills,” says Leya Tanit, founder and president of Pineapple Support. “They will be providing insight and advice for adult industry performers, discussing facts and promoting positivity and acceptance. The Pineapple Summit is 100% free and 100% online. This might be the most important summit you attend! We hope to see you then!”
Tanit, a British performer, founded Pineapple Support 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.
The Pineapple Mental Health Summit 2020 will be broadcast on Pornhub Live on December 17th and 18th, from 9 a.m. PST. More information and access to the full schedule can be found by visiting pineapplesummit.org.
