MISSION
EMBODY
We are a community of surrogate partners who model healthy intimacy skills, embodying our values in the way we relate to each other and conduct our training.
EMPOWER
We train surrogate partners to teach intimacy skills from within relationship. We support trainees by providing guidance and resources that empower them to flourish as professionals.
EVOLVE
We see a need to diversify the field, so we are committed to making our training inclusive and accessible. We are committed to creating and sustaining a learning community, in order to respond to changing needs and to elevate standards and evolve our profession.
PILLARS
The Surrogate Partner Collective serves a mission of three primary pillars:
Community
We seek to create a community for surrogate partners to be supported and networked together. From the moment training begins to the moment they stop practicing, surrogate partners should feel supported in their practice, their business, their growth, and their connections with mentors, other SPs, and collaborating professionals. This community is robust, ever expanding, and consistent with the values that SPC holds.
Training
​We train and educate surrogate partners and collaborating mental and physical health providers on Surrogate Partner Therapy and its healing potential. We also train individuals in the modality of Surrogate Partner Therapy, and offer resources and training for collaborating professionals to better support and be supported by SPT and the SPC.
​Representation
We work to normalize SPT as a healing modality for relationships and intimacy in social and political contexts throughout the world. To be an ethical, adaptive, and accountable example/model for SPT that builds the integrity of the modality, and maintains the consistency of its potential through change, innovation, cultural shift, and conflict.
