On March 23rd, 2020, Daniel Prude was killed by members of the Rochester Police Department while he was experiencing a mental health crisis.
Following his murder, a movement was built to transform the way we support people experiencing mental health and substance use crises.
Join the Prude family and community members from across the state in remembering Daniel Prude, and learning about what we can do to make sure people in crisis receive the help they need.
