Today we have our launch meeting for our new grant and future iterations of 2GETHER. Excited to see the project grow and better fit the needs of our SGM community!

Also very sad for our beloved Adam Conway’s last day today, who is moving on to do great things as a newly-minted therapist! Very proud PI today.

Hi everyone! My name is Chris Garcia @cpatgarcia and I’ll be taking over the THRIVE twitter for #THRIVETakeoverTuesday. I’m a study coordinator w/ Michael Newcomb, PhD and the 2GETHER is now all2GETHER: a relationship education and HIV prevention program. Look at one of our cute logos!

I help lead recruitment efforts for 2GETHER. This is some of the 2GETHER team from a work outing back in 2018, I’m the one on the left! #THRIVETakeoverTuesday

So what does the day to day of couples research look like? A lot is similar to other academic research, literature reviews, measurement and tracking, and occasionally collecting biological specimens or shipping STI kits so participants can do that at home...

What makes 2GETHER unique is many of the team also deliver parts of the psychoeducation! Helping couples (and now also single ppl!) grow closer and navigate complex relationship issues can be really rewarding. Shout out to Northwestern alum billy eichner! #THRIVETakeoverTuesday

Final Tweet of the Day! Lastly, just want to thank all those that have made @2GETHER_Study work possible. From NIH to community organizations like Howard Brown Health, and most of all our participants from Chicago to Hawaii to Maine! Feel free to follow our progress/“funny” tweets

Excited to welcome my new post-doc, Dr. Madison Shea Smith, to the 2GETHER is now all2GETHER and @ISGMH! Check out all our amazing post-docs: isgmh.northwestern.edu/people/postdoc…

We are seeking coupled and single Chicago trans and cis men and nonbinary AMAB folks for a video project to be used in the new version of 2GETHER. The shoot is Nov 6 and 7, but we are only asking for 2.5 hours during those days. Slide into our DMs if interested!

Hey Twitter! We're looking for trans+ & nonbinary folx to join a paid community advisory board to make a relationship education and HIV prevention program (2GETHER is now all2GETHER) affirming of trans & nonbinary experiences. Application: bit.ly/3v0D7AL

This weekend we began filming for the next version of 2GETHER is now all2GETHER - an online implementation trial of relationship education and sexual health promotion for individuals and couples. So energized to reboot and focus on gender inclusivity! @NIAIDFunding

Hi Twitterverse! My name is Madison Smith (Dr. Madison Shea Smith), and I’ll be coordinating today’s #THRIVETakeover! I am a postdoctoral scholar on the 2GETHER is now all2GETHER team at THRIVE Center, and my research focuses on the interplay of health and relationships. More to come!

Absolutely delighted to share that my #NRSA #F32 Notice of Award from NIDA came through today! Watch out for some (more) cool research on IPA, substance use, and HIV risk among SGM couples soon!! 🥳

😍We heart our participants most of all❤️

Today we celebrate Dr Elissa Sarno, who is transitioning into private practice. Her contributions to 2GETHER is now all2GETHER and @ISGMH are endless. But we managed to convince her to stay on as a clinical supervisor- she can’t get rid of us that easy! @DrESarno

Happy Pride 2023! The team needed a quick walk to the lake; the flags provided pride but also a bit of warmth! Plus we got to crash @_karmacap faculty photos!

.Michael Newcomb, PhD of @ISGMH Third Coast Center for AIDS Research Northwestern MSS shares results of 2GETHER is now all2GETHER Chicago version at #AIDSimpact conf.

I haven’t been on [whatever we call this social media thing] much these days. But I’m very proud of my team for getting 2GETHER is now all2GETHER to this point. Sometimes I forget to stop and appreciate our accomplishments. I’m very humbled by this.
