“Financial insecurity, banking discrimination, and the pressures of hustle culture can take a heavy emotional toll on adult industry professionals,” Pineapple Support founder and CEO Leya Tanit said. “By bringing these conversations to the forefront, we hope to break stigma, offer practical resources, and provide a community of support. Because financial health is mental health.”
Tanit founded Pineapple Support in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 16,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.
Registration for the event is free and open now to content creators, studio professionals, platform owners and allies. To sign up and view the full event schedule, visit pineapplesupport.org/
