00:00I'm Dan Rubin, Group President, North America at Havas Health.

00:15Mental health plays a really important role in the workplace.

00:18We all work so hard and we spend so much time at work that it's critical that we're cognizant

00:24and conscious of how we're doing mentally and taking care of ourselves in every way

00:28possible.

00:32For me, something that I do to prioritize my mental health every day, one thing is I

00:36run in the morning.

00:37For me, I find that if I'm physically active, my mental health is just that much better.

00:42And the other thing is just making space at work.

00:45So sometimes when you just need a moment, whether that's going for a walk, getting something

00:49to eat, getting a glass of water, just making sure you know your limits and taking the space

00:54when you need it.

00:59First things first, we need to talk about it.

01:01We need to not be silent.

01:03We need to make space for people to talk about mental health.

01:06It's really important that we de-stigmatize any issues related to mental health, get them

01:12out in the open, talk about it and create safe space for our people.

01:18The Havas Mind series is a way to get started, right?

01:21It's a way to start the conversation or enhance the conversation if it's already going.

01:26It's a really effective program.

01:29It's really simple in the best way possible.

01:32Just to get some quick education and understanding on the importance of caring for ourselves

01:36and our mental health, and also some helpful tips for what we could do for ourselves and

01:40for one another.
