Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, is proud to announce a new support group, Navigating Grief and Loss, designed to help adult industry professionals process and heal from experiences of grief in all its forms. The six-week, closed support group is generously sponsored by Streamate and facilitated by licensed psychologist Dr. Tess Kilwein.

“Grief takes many shapes and forms and we want our community to know they don’t have to face it alone,” says Leya Tanit, founder of Pineapple Support. “This group offers a compassionate and confidential space for performers to share, connect, and heal together.”

“Navigating Grief and Loss” is open to all adult industry professionals who have experienced grief or loss. Participants are invited to openly share their stories and develop practical coping skills to navigate their unique journeys. The support group is designed to reduce feelings of isolation, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and fatigue that often accompany grief.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Streamate for supporting this important initiative,” says Tanit. “With their partnership and Dr. Kilwein’s expertise, we’re able to provide safe and guided support for those who need it most.”

Pineapple Support was founded in 2018 by British performer Leya Tanit, following a wave of tragic losses within the adult industry linked to depression and mental health struggles. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit has connected more than 15,000 adult performers with free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support services.
