More than 100 people attended a peaceful protest in memory of Marc Cole, a Falmouth father of two who died after being Tasered by police.
The Stop the Stigma - March 4 Mental Health was held in remembrance of all who have lost their lives due to mental health crises.
Several families spoke about their pain after losing loved ones in psychiatric units, after police contact or in police custody.
Lisa Cole, Marc's sister, said: "Disproportionate numbers of our loved ones are dying in this county due to mental illness. Where is the political interest? Where is the outrage?
"Recent figures of deaths in police custody have been recorded as the highest in over a decade. Something is very wrong."
After gathering in Dracaena Playing Fields on Sunday (September 2), protestors marched through the town demanding justice.
The event was sponsored by Man Down Cornwall, a charity that offers support drop in groups for men in crisis or emotional distress.
