He issued a special appeal for people in the nation's capital. “That means it's something that we can all, you know, and should, talk about with one another when we’re feeling that way or when we recognize that in someone feeling that way.” “It’s actually one of the many things, believe it or not, that we all have in common as human beings,' Sudeikis continued.

“No matter who you are, no matter where you live, no matter who you voted for, we all probably, I assume, we all know someone who has, or have been that someone ourselves actually, that’s struggled, that’s felt isolated, that’s felt anxious, that has felt alone,' he said. Sudeikis said there should be no stigma attached to reaching out for help because everyone knows someone who has needed a shoulder to lean on, or has been that person themselves. Mental health is part of Biden's bipartisan “unity agenda.” He has called on lawmakers to direct more resources toward fighting what some say is a crisis, and the administration has surged funding to bolster a new 988 suicide and crisis line and put more mental-health professionals in schools. 'If it needs to be a loved one, equally as good, in a lot of ways.” “And if you can ask for that help from a professional, fantastic,” he continued. 'That does take a lot, especially when it’s something that has such a negative stigma to it, such as mental health and it doesn’t need to be that way. “While it’s easier said than done, we also have to know that we shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help ourselves,' Sudeikis said. The Emmy-winning, feel-good show on Apple TV+ just opened its third season. Mental health and looking after one another is a theme of “Ted Lasso,” Sudeikis told reporters from the lectern as he helped press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre open her daily White House briefing. WASHINGTON – Fictional soccer coach Ted Lasso used a White House visit Monday to encourage people, even in politically divided Washington, to make it a point to check in often with friends, family and co-workers to 'ask how they're doing, and listen, sincerely,”Ĭomedian Jason Sudeikis, who plays the title character - an American coaching a soccer team in London - and other cast members were meeting with President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden to talk about how mental health contributes to overall well-being.
