LOS ANGELES—Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health resource, will host a free, online webinar, led by Pineapple Support therapist Nicoletta von Heidegger, LMFT. The webinar, “Using Creativity To Create A New Normal,” will focus on self-care during isolation and will be available to all adult industry workers, live on April 24.
The one-hour webinar is aimed at expanding current self-care routines to account for added stressors during the COVID-19 isolation period. Von Heidegger will discuss ideas on how to keep your mind and body healthy, as well as practice breathing and relaxation exercises for those suffering with anxiety.
“This is a strange and unprecedented time for all of us.” says von Heidegger. “Join me for a collaborative discussion about how to create a balanced routine during all of this uncertainty. Many of our lives, businesses, self-care routines, and relationships are being put to the test and/or have been totally up-ended. Come learn some expanded self-care skills and tools to make a creative plan for your new normal.”
Pineapple Support was founded in 2018 by British performer Leya Tanit, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, which is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit in the United States and a registered charity in the UK, has so far connected over a thousand adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.
“These are uncertain times, and it is easy to forget to take time to look after yourself and your mental wellbeing,” says Tanit. “It is understandable that many will be experiencing anxiety and heightened emotions. This webinar provides practical advice on how to cope emotionally during a lockdown.”
The selfcare webinar will be live on April 24 at 2PM EST. To join the webinar visit PineappleSupport.org/webinars and follow the link.
