Once home to the notorious Stingaree district, San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter has transformed from a rowdy red-light zone into a vibrant, historic hub of culture, architecture, and commerce. Join the Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation as they trace the area's evolution—from its Wild West beginnings and waterfront vice to its Victorian revival and present-day status as a National Historic District. Discover the stories behind the brick sidewalks, gas lamps, and preserved buildings that now shape one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. The Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation (GQHF) is dedicated to preserving the architecture, culture and history of the Gaslamp Quarter, a 16 ½-block area designated as an historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. Through museum exhibits, tours, festivals and educational programs for children and adults, the GQHF opens a window to the past by depicting the historical development of downtown San Diego since 1850. The Foundation operates from the oldest standing residence in the Gaslamp Quarter, the Davis-Horton House Museum, a repository of artifacts, photos and archives that we preserve for residents and visitors from around the world to enjoy. Founded in 1981 as a nonprofit corporation and recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt entity, the Foundation is led by an active Board of Directors that provides vision and leadership, sets policy and oversees the organization’s financial health. A professional staff led by an Executive Director carries out board policies and manages the day-to-day operations of the Foundation and the Museum. Coronado Public Library on Facebook / Instagram

Revolutionising mental health care with integrative approaches The Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference returns September 11–14, 2025 in San Diego Taking place September 11–14, 2025 at the award-winning Town and Country Resort in San Diego, California, this four-day, in-person event (virtual tickets also available) brings together over 1000 globally recognized experts, as well as seasoned and beginning practitioners in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry to transform mental health care. The way mental health is currently diagnosed and treated falls short of the need, and the stakes are high. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in every 8 people in the world live with a mental disorder whether that’s anxiety, depression, insomnia, poor concentration, poor memory, attention disorders, brain fog, as well as severe conditions such as suicidality and psychosis. IMMH addresses this urgent need by going beyond symptom management to treat the root causes of mental illness with personalized, precision approaches. "Having personally experienced the devastating challenges of mental illness and coming from a family history profoundly marked by it, I have made it my mission to bring better mental health care into the mainstream," says Kirkland Newman, IMMH Executive Director. "I believe in a future where mental health is accurately understood and treated based on root causes, and offering personalised, precision solutions. At IMMH, we aim to provide education and resources to those suffering from mental health issues, their friends and families and health practitioners.” MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, psychotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists, naturopaths, chiropractors, social workers, and even a few passionate laypeople will gather to learn the latest in integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry. The program will highlight best clinical practices and new research addressing the biochemical, psycho-spiritual, and lifestyle factors that shape mental health. Leading researchers, clinicians, and practitioners in the field will share their expertise. This year’s theme, The Anthropogenic Drivers of Mental Health, will examine how human behaviors, societal structures and environmental influences impact mental wellbeing – and how integrative medicine can heal the individual, the community and the planet. Conference highlights include: Interactive sessions from leaders in the field on a host of cutting-edge and timely topics such as the gut-brain-immune connection, psychoneuroimmunology, metabolic, mitochondrial and nutritional psychiatry, psychedelics and spirituality, circadian rhythms, environmental toxicity, infections and the brain, genomics, hormones, trauma, and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders (and more). A focus on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction and dementia – with actionable, whole-person strategies for care. Networking opportunities, immersive workshops and exclusive events designed to connect attendees with one another and with leading voices in the industry.
