Unmatched Expertise

MHA is committed to advancing workplace mental health in collaboration with public, private, and academic partners. In addition to our expertise and research-informed practices, we work with global, national, and local leaders in workplace mental health to continuously refine the Bell Seal program. We don’t just evaluate workplace mental health standards; we set the standards. Review the 2025 criteria.

Distinct Standard of Excellence

The Bell Seal certification evaluates how organizations support employees’ mental health and well-being through comprehensive criteria in four sections: Workplace Culture, Benefits, Compliance, and Wellness. Our goal is to gain a clear understanding of the entire employee experience and award recognition accordingly.

Recognition that Resonates

MHA wants to celebrate and elevate your organization’s commitment to creating a mentally healthy workplace. Receiving Bell Seal recognition communicates your commitment to employees, clients, and the communities you serve.
