Chicago, IL (May 1, 2025) — New Home Star has been awarded the 2025 Platinum Bell Seal, the highest Workplace Mental Health recognition by Mental Health America (MHA). The Bell Seal is the nation’s preeminent certification, recognizing employers committed to creating mentally healthy workplaces.
“Every team member is vital to our organization, and it is our mission to ensure each individual feels valued and supported,” says New Home Star Founder David Rice. “We are honored to provide the team with the resources it needs to thrive during challenging times and support its well-being across all circumstances.”
To receive the Platinum Bell Seal, New Home Star underwent a rigorous evaluation of its policies and practices in four areas: workplace culture, benefits, compliance, and wellness programs. This distinction further bolsters New Home Star‘s ongoing commitment to employee mental health and well-being.
MHA is the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit promoting mental health, well-being, and illness prevention. MHA has spent decades researching mental health in the workplace and introduced the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health in 2019 to recognize organizations that value and implement policies and practices that support employee mental health and well-being. The Bell Seal recognizes employer advances in workplace mental health by awarding Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum recognition. Only two in five employers meet the standards for Bell Seal certification.
New Home Star is committed to providing the best resources for its team members and continuing to uphold the standards of the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health.
