Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, is launching a racial trauma and stress support group this Wednesday, June 10th.

This six-week support group will address the damages caused by racial trauma due to exposure from institutional racism, discrimination, harassment, community violence and related news and social media.

Pineapple Support therapist Jamila Dawson, LMFT, will lead the discussion of the impact of traumatic stress on behaviour, relationships, coping and parenting as well as strategies that promote self-regulation, safety, sense of empowerment, self-worth, self-determination and emotional confidence of Black Americans.

Pineapple Support was founded by Tanit in early 2018, in response to losses in the adult industry from depression, addiction and other mental illnesses. The organisation, which is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit in the United States and a registered charity in the UK, has so far connected over one thousand adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost, therapy, counseling and emotional support.

The Support Group will meet every Wednesday from 8PM-9PM EST. To register for this and other support group, visit https://pineapplesupport.org/support-groups/
