Pineapple Support Opens Addiction Support Group This Month

March is Women's History Month, and Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health resource, will be aiding not just the women in adult entertainment but the men as well, as it focuses on issues related to addiction throughout the month of March. Information, resources and strategies for coping with addiction, including exclusive guidance from Pineapple Support therapists and experts, will be shared via blogs and social media. Pineapple Support is also hosting a six-week Recovery Education and Support Group that will begin meeting on Monday, March 16. The online group is led by Nicki Line, a licensed mental health counselor. The group will provide education about addiction and be a sanctuary for those struggling with addiction in any form. “We don’t discuss addiction enough in the adult industry, but its effects have touched us all at some point, whether it’s our own struggle or the struggle of someone we love,” said Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit. “This March, we want to share individual stories and want to hear from those who have been affected by addiction. We build community through our shared stories. Those interested in contributing or sharing their story should email [email protected]. Let us know if you’d like it to remain anonymous.” Pineapple Support was founded in 2018 by Tanit in response to losses in the adult industry from depression, addiction 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 nearly nine hundred adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.
