Pineapple Support

Pineapple Support connects performers, creators, and cam workers with sex-worker-affirming therapists — and raises funds to help cover the cost of care. Services include individual therapy, support groups, peer listening, and educational resources, all provided by clinicians who understand the industry and won't pathologize your work.

  • One important note: Pineapple Support's services are specifically available to people who work in the online adult industry. If that's you, this is a remarkable resource. If you work in other areas of the sex industry and don't qualify, the other resources on this page are a better starting point.
