Who we are

Pineapple Support is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing free, stigma-free, and accessible mental health support to all persons working in the online adult industry.

Our support resources are offered worldwide and include confidential, kink-aware, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, emotional support, coaching, and community groups.

For many in our community, Pineapple Support is the first safe, non-judgmental space they have ever experienced. For others, it is the support they turn to when they feel they cannot keep going.

We are here 24/7 to say: You are loved. We are listening. You are not alone.

Why We Exist

Working in the adult industry can be isolating, stigmatizing, and emotionally challenging.
Industry professionals face unique pressures: online harassment, discrimination, family rejection, doxxing fears, censorship, shame, financial instability, and a lack of access to understanding care.

The industry has lost far too many lives to suicide, overdose, and burnout, many of these tragedies rooted in inadequate support.

Pineapple Support exists to change that.

We believe everyone deserves safety, compassion, and access to mental health care from professionals who understand their world.

Why “Pineapple”?

Simple: Pineapple is one of the most commonly used safe words in the U.S.
And that’s what we are, a safe word.

A signal that you’re supported, protected, and never alone.

How We Started

Pineapple Support was founded by Leya Tanit, a British performer deeply affected by the wave of suicides the industry faced in early 2018. After attending XBIZ and AVN that year, Leya knew something had to change, and that change had to start with care, community, and connection.

From a single idea grew a global movement.

Today, Pineapple Support is powered by a dedicated board, committed ambassadors, a growing team, and a worldwide network of therapists. Together, we’re building a healthier industry rooted in compassion, support, and human dignity.
