#1: SOLICITATION LETTER (SPONSOR, ADVERTISER OR SCHOLARSHIP PROVIDER)

Dear ____,

I am a Conference Committee Member with the Association for Training on Trauma and Attachment in Children (ATTACh). We are excited to announce that on Thursday, September 29th – Saturday, October 1st that Catch the Wave of Hope and Healing, the 34th annual ATTACh childhood trauma and attachment conference is coming to Anaheim, CA. We are honored that ATTACh has chosen to host this highly sought educational training conference in our area for parents and caregivers as well as professionals and staff from family and child-serving organizations and agencies.

After two-years of living in a pandemic state, thousands of our nation’s children and youth were exposed to higher-than-normal incidents of life-altering trauma which negatively impacted their wellness and wellbeing. Mental health counseling, therapy or treatment by a professional trained to recognize and treat trauma in children is critical to assessing a child’s trauma and preparing them for a healing journey. The Catch the Wave of Hope and Healing conference helps build the capacity and knowledge of mental health, occupational therapy and other areas necessary to help professionals and staff who provide treatment, education and care to children living with trauma, attachment, mental health or developmental disorders.

The conference also addresses the needs of parents/caregivers and families who have a child or youth who has experienced trauma. Often, these parents/caregivers feel isolated and as if no one else understands what they are going through. This conference is one of only a few nationwide gatherings of its kind with a TRACK especially for parents/caregivers and families where they can receive positive and affirming education, direct support, hands-on wellness/self-care strategies and a safe space to share their thoughts, while learning from professionals and networking with others whose lived experience may help them navigate through their child’s healing process.

This year, we have added a Track designed for Youth and Young People. In this track, they will interact with conference attendees in workshops as leaders, panelists, and even performers! Attendees 15-21 years old are invited and encouraged to join the conference and to enjoy the fun. Activities, performances, and workshops are planned for them too!

WE NEED YOUR HELP. With the number of children impacted by trauma and attachment issues at an ever-increasing rate, it is imperative that we work together to create the best possible outcomes for these children. Please consider becoming a Sponsor, Advertiser or Scholarship Provider for the ATTACh annual conference. Levels and payment details are on the conference website: https://attach.org/2022-conference/.

Thank you for considering a contribution to support ATTACh. This event is the organization’s primary educational and fundraising effort. Your generosity makes it possible for professionals, parents/caregivers, youth and young people to attend the conference as well as provide ATTACh with the ability to establish year-round development and implementation of high-quality, expert-led trainings, resources, tools, workshops and events. For assistance, contact ATTACh directly at conference@attach.org or 612-861-4222.

Sincerely,
