Events
Annual Conference
Every Summer TTSGI hosts an in-person Annual Conference (usually during the second week of July) where twins from all over the U.S., Canada, and the world join together to experience healing, understanding, and the opportunity to help others cope with the loss of their twin.
Regional Gatherings
TTSGI also hosts regional meetings throughout the year (both in-person and virtual). Hosted by Regional Coordinators, these meetings are smaller events that focus on peer-to-peer support. They are designed to be informal and aid in building relationships among twinless twins.
Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups, hosted virtually, provide a platform to meet fellow twins who share a specific cause of loss or experience, including: First Contact/New Members, Alcohol and Drug Overdose, Unexpected/Sudden Loss, Suicide Loss, Traumatic/Violent Loss, Early Loss, Recent Loss, Mature Loss, Long-Term Illness, Men Only, LGBTQIA+, and Faith-based.
