/in /by

Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, is pleased to welcome Razor Edge Talent as a supporter-level sponsor. The talent management group joins over sixty adult businesses and organizations in committing funds and resources to the organization.

“I have witnessed firsthand the wonderful things Pineapple Support has been able to do for some very close friends dealing with important issues,” says Daniel Hogue, C0-Founder of Razor Edge Talent. “I, as well as my Partner Bambi Bliss of Razor Edge Talent, am proud to be in a position to finally start to give back a little of what they have done for the community that has been my life for that last 25 years. We look forward to doing more and more as we grow!”

“As a transgender performer, I truly believe in supporting one another through our experiences and knowledge,” says Bambi Bliss, Co-Founder of Razor Edge Talent. “I have gained immense knowledge and a deeper understanding of myself through similar programs. Pineapple Support is a safe space for our community, that we at Razor Edge Talent will always support.”

Pineapple Support was founded by British performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 5,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support.

“I’d like to thank Razor Edge Talent and all the team for their generosity and support,” says Tanit. “It’s important to have the support of talent management organizations like Razor Edge Talent, that work directly with performers. The more performers that know where and how to access mental health services, the stronger our entire community is as a result. Thanks to all our sponsors, we can continue to add to our jam-packed schedule of events this year, as well as meet the ever-increasing demand for our services.”

Pineapple Support Continues Corporate Training Initiative

/in /by

Pineapple Support is continuing its Corporate Training Initiative with a new online session to help staff at individual companies provide better support to performers in crisis.

The session will be led by therapist Nicki Line Wednesday at 10 a.m. (PDT).

The first session of the initiative, led by licensed mental health counselor Rachael Wells, was designed to help employees recognize performers in crisis; the new session covers the next steps employees should take.

“If you identify a performer that is in crisis, this course will equip you with a better understanding of the different interventions for various situations and the resources you can provide in order to help,” Line said. “I’ll also be available to participants after the session, who can contact me directly with any specific cases or questions via email and social media.”

Sessions within the Corporate Training Initiative are available exclusively to the employees of companies that sponsor Pineapple Support. The interactive training will take place every two months and will be available to rewatch on a password-protected website.

“We’re eager to continue to build a stronger support network for industry workers,” said Pineapple Support founder Leya Tanit. “In order to avoid more tragic losses in the adult industry, we need to teach the employees who work directly with performers how to provide effective crisis support. It’s essential that we learn how to navigate these types of conversations when someone is in need. We’re already planning to invite participants to gather and talk about the issues they’ve faced on their platforms so that we can better learn from each other.”
