Money & Mental Health in the Adult Industry
A virtual event by Pineapple Support | Hosted by Char Borley
Financial security and mental wellbeing are deeply connected, but in the adult industry, this relationship can be especially complex. From income instability, banking discrimination and financial exploitation to the emotional toll of hustle culture and sudden success, creators and industry professionals face unique financial pressures that often go unseen and unsupported.
Join us for an honest, compassionate, and empowering exploration of the intersection between money and mental health.
Whether you’re a content creator, studio professional, platform owner, or ally, this event offers insight, support, and community, because financial health is mental health.
