Pineapple Support Corporate Training & Support Group
Pineapple Support Corporate Training Initiative to help staff at individual companies provide better support to models.
The training sessions are available exclusively to the employees of companies that sponsor Pineapple Support.
Dealing with mental health issues without the proper training can be traumatic for both the person struggling and the person attempting to help. We know that platform staff aren’t always equipped to deal with these issues, so we’re now offering corporate training sessions for our sponsors so that their employees know how to react, and what resources can be provided, when someone is in need.
This is the first step in helping to build a greater web of support for industry workers. Equipped with the right knowledge and training, employees who work directly with models can play a critical role in providing crisis support.
The training sessions will cover topics including how to identify and react to a performer in crisis, how to support a sexual trauma survivor, spotting the early signs of mental health issues and invisible disabilities, as well as training in gender, sexual orientation, cyber bullying and BIPOC-specific support. The interactive training will take place every two months and will be available to rewatch on a password-protected website.
If you have a business and would like to find out how to become an official sponsor of Pineapple Support, view the available packages by visiting https://pineapplesupport.org/sponsorship/.
