The fifth annual Connecting for Kids Meet and Greet will be 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on April 14. More than 60 local pediatric professionals and organizations are expected to participate, including therapists, programs and camps. The event is designed for families to learn about local resources, therapies, after-school programs and summer camps for their children who are struggling (with or without a formal diagnosis). Participants can visit with representatives from the various organizations to discuss services and explore program options. The free public event will be at the Don Umerley Civic Center, 21016 Hilliard Blvd., Rocky River. The event is sponsored by the Child & Family Counseling Center of Westlake and Meghan Barlow & Associates.

Free Wandering Safety Kits will be handed out while supplies last to help caregivers protect children from the dangers of wandering.
