“I struggled for decades and had to put in a lot of work to get comfortable and functional with my various mental health issues,” says Lance Hart, owner of PervOut Productions. “This stuff takes hard work and it especially takes the right trained professionals to guide the way. Pineapple Support provides a crucial service, connecting sex workers with professionals that can actually help us. Our community needs this and I encourage more independent producers and performers who have an abundance to help sponsor Pineapple Support as well.”

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 organisation, which is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States and a registered charity in the UK, has so far connected over 1800 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the support of PervOut Productions, allowing us to continue offering support and therapy to those in our industry that need it,” says Tanit. “Requests for therapy have spiked 65% in just the last six months, and the generosity of partners like PervOut allows us to continue doing this crucial work.”
