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.
TTSGI also hosts regional gatherings throughout the year (both in-person and virtual). Hosted by Regional Coordinators, these gatherings 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, 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.
Who – Member only event. You must have paid the $50 annual Membership fee to attend this. Topic – "...without a family history of mental illness, even a twin who has lost their twin to suicide is unlikely to take their own life." Nancy L. Segal, Ph.D. (https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/can-losing-an-identical-twin-to-suicide-doom-the-survivor-to-the-same-fate) RSVP – by Monday, November 28, 2022 […]

Surrounded by the comfort and support of other twinless twins, you will discover new tools and new twin friends to help you on your healing journey. You will leave feeling renewed in spirit and more informed about twin loss and grief. You will finally feel that you are not alone. Twinless Twins and their supporters (spouses, significant others, family, and friends) are welcome.
