Pineapple Support and Chaturbate teamed up once again to co-host the model lounge at Venus Berlin, which took place from October 22 to 25 at Messe Berlin.

The lounge gave creators a space to grab refreshments and take some well-earned down time away from the show floor. Pineapple Support therapists Mariia Sharygina and Bryn Powell, both specialists in working with the adult industry, were on hand throughout the weekend offering free, confidential mental health check-ins for anyone feeling stressed or overwhelmed, or who simply needed someone to talk to.

On Thursday, October 22, Pineapple Support Founder and CEO Leya Tanit delivered a featured presentation in the Business Lounge titled “Protecting Your Mental Health as a Business Strategy.” The session looked at why burnout, stigma, isolation, and mental health crises are not only personal challenges but business ones, affecting productivity, reputation, and the bottom line. Tanit shared how studios, platforms, and performers can build a culture of care, why investing in mental wellbeing is also a smart compliance move, and the practical ways Pineapple Support is already helping thousands across the industry, from free therapy to corporate training.

“Our industry is evolving fast, and the pressures on the people within it are growing just as quickly,” said Tanit. “Protecting your people is protecting your business, and the companies that understand that will be the ones that thrive. I’m proud to have been back at Venus Berlin, and grateful to Chaturbate for helping us create a space where creators could pause, recharge, and get support when they needed it.”

The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, has connected over 20,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support. 

“These shows can be emotionally intense for many performers,” says Tanit. “Thanks to Fansly, we’re able to provide a space where people can pause, be heard, and access professional mental health care. This partnership is an example of what happens when platforms truly put creators first.”
