Mental Health America certification recognizes mental health work
MADISON, Wis.—March 19, 2024—WPS Health Solutions received the highest Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health award possible from Mental Health America. The Bell Seal award certification recognizes employers committed to creating mentally healthy workplaces.
“We are grateful to be recognized for the efforts our company is making for our employees,” Chief People Officer Moira Klos said. “Among the most important work is alleviating the stigma around asking for help and providing the resources to get that help for our employees and our customers.”

The Mental Health America award recognizes organizations at four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. WPS earned a Platinum-level award.
“Your organization is certified as a 2024 Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health recipient by Mental Health America,” read a note sent by Schroeder Stribling, President and CEO of Mental Health America. “Only 1 in 4 employers meet the Bell Seal certification standards.”
