Dear Potential Conference Supporter,

The California Association of Child Life Professionals seeks sponsors and exhibitors for the Annual California Child Life Professionals Conference on September 27, 2025, at UC San Diego Health, Hillcrest Medical Center, San Diego, CA. The California Association of Child Life Professionals seeks to provide a statewide forum to promote the child life profession and competencies and to enhance the health and well-being of children and their families in health care settings and the community.

The CACLP consists of child life professionals from various hospitals in California. Child life specialists are professionally trained individuals specializing in the hospitalized child's psychosocial care. Under the family-centered care model, child life specialists provide procedural preparation and support, opportunities for therapeutic play, bereavement interventions, and family support and advocacy. Through these interventions, child life specialists seek to reduce the risk of psychological trauma resulting from hospitalization.

The conference will focus on enhancing professional development and practices within various

disciplines. Invitations to this conference have been extended to multiple disciplines within hospital and community settings, including students in Child Development, Early Childhood Education, Psychology, Human Development, and Social Work.

Below is a list of sponsorship opportunities for your organization to consider.

- Breakfast

- Lunch

- Coffee Breaks/snacks/beverages

- Swag bag items (pens, pencils, note pads, tote bags, note bags, water bottles, etc.)
