LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support founder and CEO Leya Tanit will speak about the importance of mental health support in adult during various panels and discussions held at LALExpo in Cali, Colombia, Feb. 23-26.
The conversations will be panels and discussions hosted by CAM4, Streamate and WebCam Lab to "address key mental health challenges in the adult industry, including burnout, online harassment and stigma," said a rep. "The discussions will focus on practical strategies for fostering a safer, more inclusive work environment for performers, studios and platforms."
Tanit expressed her thoughts on why mental health support is so important today.
“The adult industry continues to be affected by stigma and misinformation, but we are seeing a strong and growing movement to support the well-being of performers and industry professionals,” she said. “Recent reports from organizations like Human Rights Watch emphasize the need for comprehensive mental health support and fair treatment. Our goal is to ensure that no one in this industry feels isolated or without access to resources.”
Tanit also enthused about the opportunity to speak about the topic.
“Industry events like LALExpo allow us to directly engage with the people we serve, understand their challenges, and ensure that the mental health support we provide continues to meet their needs,” she said. “The demand is great and we need more partners to ensure that everyone in this industry has access to the care they deserve.”
