Pornhub to Sponsor Pineapple Summit, a Digital Health Summit Focused on the Wellbeing of Adult Performers Globally

 

Seminar Videos and Accompanying Articles from Summit Will Be Featured on Pornhub’s Sexual Wellness Center as Part of Site’s New “Performers” Section

 

New York, NY (October 30, 2019) – Pornhub, the premiere online destination for adult entertainment, today announced it is sponsoring a digital health summit for Pineapple Support, an organization that focuses solely on the mental health of adult entertainment performers and provides them with 24/7 psychotherapy, counselling and emotional support. The inaugural “Pineapple Summit,” which will be held online on October 30 - October 31, will focus on the wellbeing of adult performers. It will feature some of the top therapists and experts from around the globe discussing different aspects of mental and physical health, therapy and coping skills.

 

“We’re excited to work with Pineapple Support again and sponsor their inaugural Pineapple Summit to help adult entertainment performers. Since our Pornhub Model Program launched a year and a half ago, we have watched our community grow to over 100,000+ members. It’s especially important to us that we’re able to provide them, and others, with support and access to resources that they might not have otherwise,” said Corey Price, VP, Pornhub. “This summit is designed to continue the conversation about mental health, resilience and growth so that performers are equipped with the necessary tools to successfully pursue their careers. I hope people can tune in and take part.”

 

 Occurring online, the Pineapple Support Summit will be releasing a series of seminar videos from some of the top therapists and experts in the world. The videos promote and encourage positive discussions on health – ranging from the effects of stigma to anxiety to how to recognize and cope with  trauma - and after the Summit will be featured on Pornhub’s Sexual Wellness Center as part of the site’s new section dedicated to adult performers.

 

“The Pineapple Summit is the product of the nearly two years of work we've done with performers and therapist at Pineapple Support. In reviewing session after session, I've been astounded by the urgent, important tools that these speakers bring to performer mental health,” said Leya Tanit, Founder and President of Pineapple Support. “I couldn't be prouder to partner with Pornhub and Modelhub, this incredible event, and look forward to the conversations it inspires.”

 

Pineapple Support was launched in April 2018 as a direct response to the string of sad, tragic and unnecessary losses experienced in the adult industry. The organization focuses solely on mental health and provides 24/7 support for all persons working in the adult online media entertainment industry, without discrimination, judgement or stigma. Pineapple Support offers free and subsidized professional therapy sessions (psychotherapy, counseling and emotional support) and mental health advice. Last year, in honor of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, Pornhub announced a partnership with Pineapple Support to provide its services to all adult performers in its Model Payment Program via https://pineapplesupport.com/.
