CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Adult industry's mental health non-profit Pineapple Support welcomes OTR Models as a new supporter-level sponsor. The webcam community, consultancy and agency joins over 60 adult businesses and organizations in committing funds and resources to the organization.
"Having worked in the adult industry for seven years and with hundreds of models to look after, we understand the importance of mental health and understand the challenges models can face," says Camilla, Model Mentor for OTR. "Pineapple offers a fantastic array of support and a safe space for those in the industry. We are incredibly excited to be a sponsor and to work closely alongside them. This is a first for webcam agencies and a huge step in the right direction."
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 organization, which is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has so far connected over 5,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.
"Ensuring cam models have access to mental health services is vital for the future of the industry," says Tanit. "I'm so grateful to the OTR Models team for helping to expand Pineapple Support's reach while we work to accelerate and expand our schedule of events and services this year—our most extensive to date."
