Saint Meinrad Archabbey has been formally recognized as a 2025 Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health recipient by Mental Health America (MHA), the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health, well-being, and the prevention of mental illness.

The Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health is a national certification program that recognizes employers committed to creating mentally healthy workplaces. Guided by Mental Health America’s long history of research and advocacy, the Bell Seal’s holistic evaluation of employer practices considers the entire employee experience.

Only two in five employers meet the Bell Seal standards. Saint Meinrad Archabbey prioritizes its co-workers’ mental health and well-being and aligns its policies, practices, and benefits with top industry best practices.

“We are honored to be recognized by Mental Health America with the 2025 Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health,” said Wellness Director Jill Memmer. “At Saint Meinrad Archabbey, we are committed to fostering a culture that truly cares about the well-being of our co-workers. While we provide the resources and opportunities, it’s our co-workers who embrace these tools and invest in their own health and wellness.”

Saint Meinrad Archabbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1854. The monks operate the Seminary and School of Theology, guest house and retreat program, Abbey Caskets, CareNotes, the tailor shop, and Saint Meinrad Books & Gifts. The Archabbey employs about 185 co-workers.
