Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health nonprofit, is launching a new, online community event, “Spill the Tea Romania,” which is free for adult industry creators in Romania, sponsored by Paxum. The ongoing monthly sessions, hosted by Pineapple Support therapist Ana Maria Stan and Romanian community liaison Anastasia Turcan, will be held in Romanian and will begin on January 16th at 6:00pm EET. “This group is designed to provide a safe and supportive virtual space for adult industry creators and performers, with Q&A sessions, mini-workshops, opportunities for connection, and moments to recharge,” says Pineapple Support therapist Ana Maria Stan. “If you want to recharge your batteries and connect with others, learn how to make your work easier and find your community, we welcome you.” Pineapple Support was founded by performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 14,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support. “We are incredibly grateful to Paxum for supporting the launch of ‘Spill the Tea Romania’,” says Pineapple Support founder and CEO, Leya Tanit. “These monthly events provide much-needed support to creators who may have limited access to supportive resources. It’s vital to have a community space where creators can share their experiences and feel understood. ‘Spill the Tea’ is about creating a welcoming, understanding environment that empowers creators to connect and thrive.” The “Spill the Tea Romania” community event begins on January 16th at 6:00pm EET. Sessions will be held in Romanian, last approximately one hour, and take place online each month.
