Diane Gilbert, Peer Support Specialist from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District, and Kate Hill, Administrative Director of Crisis Response for Buffalo Hope, speak in Buffalo, New York, during National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, September 9, 2025. They discuss the importance of ending the stigma around mental health and share valuable resources available to those in need of support (U.S. Army video by Kaylee Wendt).
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Equal Employment Opportunity program fosters a culture of dignity and respect by ensuring a workplace free from discrimination, harassment and bias. This commitment is even more important in an emergency response deployment environment, where stress and long hours can challenge workplace norms.
