LOS ANGELES—Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, is launching a free, online support group to help performers navigate thoughts of suicide, sponsored by Stripchat. The six-week support group, "Navigating Thoughts of Suicide" will be led by Pineapple Support therapist Rachael Farina and will begin on Thursday, September 4th at 10 a.m. EST.
“This group will provide a safe, compassionate space for anyone who has experienced suicidal ideation or struggles with ongoing thoughts of suicide,” says Farina. “Together, we will explore what contributes to these feelings, how to seek support, and the journey toward developing lasting hope. You are not alone, and healing is possible.”
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, 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.
“Suicidal thoughts can be isolating and frightening, but support groups like this one remind us that connection and healing are always within reach,” says Tanit. “I’m deeply thankful to Stripchat for sponsoring this vital group, and to Rachael for guiding participants with compassion and care.”
The six-week “Navigating Thoughts of Suicide” support group begins on Thursday, September 4th at 10 a.m. EST (7 a.m. PST / 4 p.m. CET). Each session will run for approximately one hour. To learn more or reserve a spot, visit pineapplesupport.org/support-
