Pineapple Support Marks 7th Anniversary

Pineapple Support Marks 7th Anniversary

LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support is marking its seventh anniversary by citing its accomplishments and noting its challenges.

Since its founding in April 2018, the non-profit has offered free, confidential, and accessible therapy, support groups, and resources to industry workers.

“To date, we have touched the lives of over 15,000 individuals,” said a rep. “And while 2024 began with a dip in donations and sponsorships, by the end of the year, the organization saw an increase in sponsorships from both longstanding and start-up businesses. Ultimately, Pineapple Support was able to provide therapy and resources to 3,667 individuals and onboard 94 new therapists globally, expanding its network of mental health professionals to offer services in 23 languages.

“Over the years, the demand for services has continued to rise,” the rep added. “At the end of 2023, Pineapple Support faced its most significant challenge to date: a waiting list for therapy services. This marked the first time in the organization’s history that demand had outpaced immediate service delivery. Currently, there are 39 individuals on the waitlist, a remarkable improvement from over 200 at the start of 2024. While progress has been made, there is still much work to be done.”

Pineapple Support Founder and CEO Leya Tanit enthused about the organization’s achievements.

“As we celebrate seven years of Pineapple Support, we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished,” she said. “The road has not been easy, but we have persevered and grown. The growing demand for our services serves as a reminder of just how vital our work is. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our sponsors, therapists, volunteers, and the incredible Pineapple Support community. Every dollar donated, every hour volunteered, and every voice advocating for mental health helps create a world where every individual in the adult industry feels seen, heard, and valued. A huge, heartfelt thank you goes to every person who has supported us on this journey.

“With continued support, we can eliminate the waitlist and continue to provide life-changing care to those who need it most,” Tanit added. “Together, we can make a lasting difference, ensuring that mental health support is accessible to every performer, creator, and professional in the industry.”
