In recognition of World Mental Health Day, San Diego's Therapeutic Recreation Services (TRS) is rolling out the red carpet for its 25th annual Consumer Luncheon this Friday. Designed to celebrate and uplift individuals grappling with mental or behavioral health conditions, the event, as reported by the City of San Diego, is a chance for folks to connect, find support, and cheer on the accomplishments of those making strides in their mental health journeys.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday at the Balboa Park Club, attendees can expect an engaging mix of guest speakers, interactive activities, and a communal meal. It's a free event, but organizers are asking people to RSVP by Wednesday to ensure they get to actually eat. Want to secure your spot? You can quickly register online using code 117846 at SDRecConnect.com or just as effectively make a call to 619-236-7753.

Among the honorees at the luncheon will be the members of the TRS' Leisure Seekers group, a program specially tailored to help adults recovering from mental health issues to increase their socialization and self-esteem. As we approach autumn, Leisure Seekers is lined up to offer an array of fall activities, including a spooky 'Haunted Happenings Tour,' a competitive Bowling League, and creatively inclined art classes, detailed by the city's press release.
