In an industry that’s all about connection, the most important relationship you can have is the one with yourself. That’s the powerful message behind a new initiative from our partners at Pineapple Support, the leading mental health resource for the adult entertainment community. They’re launching a 6-week support group, “Learning Self-Love,” and it’s poised to be a game-changer for performers and producers looking to build resilience from the inside out.
A Safe Space to Connect and Grow
Starting July 1 at 12 p.m. EST, this online group is more than just a weekly meeting; it’s a lifeline. Designed as a “safe and non-judgmental space,” the workshop offers a mix of candid discussions, practical exercises, and tools you can actually use to boost your self-worth and compassion. Proudly sponsored by Pornhub, the initiative underscores a growing industry-wide commitment to performer well-being.
The core mission is clear: help participants build inner trust, forge genuine connections with peers, and lay a foundation for deeper joy and fulfillment, both personally and professionally.
“We designed this group to be an inclusive experience where members can celebrate achievements, foster connections, and set the stage for validation and professional growth.” – Pineapple Support
Meet Your Guide: Claire Fountain
Leading the charge is Claire Fountain, a licensed therapist and author who brings a dynamic approach to mental wellness. Fountain is widely recognized for her unique blend of therapy and physical wellness, making her the perfect guide for this journey. Her expertise promises a program that’s not just about talking, but about doing the work to create lasting change.
Through her guidance, members will work together to unpack challenges, celebrate wins, and ultimately learn to embrace the things that make them unique. As Pineapple Support shared on their social media, this is about creating “the foundation for deeper relationships and joy.”
Why This Is a Big Deal
Let’s be real: working in the adult industry comes with unique pressures. From navigating online feedback to maintaining boundaries, the need for robust mental health support has never been more critical. Pineapple Support has been at the forefront of this movement, providing free and low-cost therapy to thousands of industry members.
This workshop fits perfectly into a larger trend of destigmatizing mental health care for creators. By offering specialized, accessible support, Pineapple Support and its partners are empowering individuals to take control of their well-being. It’s a powerful statement that mental health is not a luxury, but an essential part of a successful and sustainable career. The organization, active on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) at @PineappleSC, consistently advocates for this cause.
Your Invitation to a Better You
If you’re ready to invest in yourself and connect with a community that truly gets it, this is your chance. The “Learning Self-Love” group is an opportunity to cultivate the kind of inner strength that shines through in every aspect of your life.
Spaces are limited, and with a start date of July 1, you’ll want to sign up now to secure your spot. As the team at Pineapple Support puts it, this is a chance to truly “explore, nurture, and embrace what makes you unique!”
