美国总统乔·拜登和第一夫人吉尔·拜登将于周一在白宫主持Apple TV+的《泰德·拉索》剧组，讨论谈论心理健康的重要性。
这部热播剧的几位演员，包括杰森·苏戴奇斯、汉娜·沃丁厄姆和布雷特·戈尔茨坦，来讨论为什么人们应该关注“心理健康以促进整体福祉”
拜登(姓氏)发微博周日参观的一个建议是，在椭圆形办公室的一扇门上有一个标志的照片，上面写着“相信”，这是指由Sudeikis扮演的标题人物挂在他办公室门上的标志。
在会议之前，苏代基斯和其他几位演职人员参加了由白宫新闻秘书郭佳欣·让·皮埃尔举行的新闻发布会。
“无论你是谁，无论你住在哪里，无论你投票给谁，我们都可能知道有人——或者实际上我们自己就是这样的人——正在挣扎，感到孤立，感到焦虑，感到孤独，”苏代基斯在周一的简报会上说。“信不信由你，这实际上是我们人类共有的许多事情之一。”
Sudeikis呼吁美国人与家人、朋友、邻居、同事和其他人联系，看看他们过得怎么样，并呼吁人们在需要帮助时不要害怕寻求帮助。
“看，我知道在这个镇上，很多人并不总是同意，也不总是觉得自己被听到、被看到、被倾听，”他说。“但我真的相信，我们都应该尽最大努力帮助彼此照顾。”
根据Apple TV+的新闻稿，“泰德·拉索”的主题集中在“乐观、善良和决心”
这部电视剧上周首映了第三季，也没有回避描述精神健康的斗争。
拉索是一名美国足球教练，他搬到英国执教一支英超足球队。他通常有一个阳光的性格，但随着过去的创伤赶上他，裂缝开始出现。
由莎拉·奈尔斯扮演的莎伦·菲尔德斯通医生被请来帮助一名足球队员，因为一次点球失误把他震醒了。然而，她很快就开始与所有玩家进行一对一的对话。
尽管拉索最初拒绝了菲尔德斯通与他会面的尝试，但在经历了令人虚弱的恐慌发作后，他最终还是去拜访了她。
经过一系列的会议，拉索和菲尔德斯通挖掘发现拉索焦虑的根源。
“泰德·拉索”的联合创作人和演员布兰登·亨特扮演蔻驰·比尔德，他告诉菲尔·利波夫ABC新闻直播“周五，粉丝们对拉索进入治疗的反应是压倒性的积极。
“我们从这个节目的人们那里得到的反馈是如此独特地令人感动——出于各种原因，从一开始就是如此——但是，当我们加入治疗元素时，听到了许多不同的人关于治疗如何帮助他们的生活，以及一些因为这个节目而最终采取措施开始治疗的人的反馈，”亨特说。
在几次演讲中，包括他在一月份的最新国情咨文中，拜登表示，他的政府的关键提案之一是改善心理健康。
政府已经提供了5亿多美元来帮助各州启动988自杀和危机生命线并且已经拨款帮助更多的学校雇佣心理健康专家，这些专家可以亲自或者通过远程医疗与学生联系。

拜登还呼吁立法者通过立法，阻止社交媒体公司收集儿童和青少年的个人数据，并禁止针对儿童的广告。
白宫在一份声明中说:“拜登总统已将解决精神健康危机作为其团结议程的核心支柱。”“他的战略重点是培训更多的提供者，使医疗更加实惠和方便，并创建更健康和更安全的社区，包括在线社区。”
白宫没有立即回复ABC新闻的置评请求。
White House hosts cast of Apple TV+'s 'Ted Lasso' to discuss mental health
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will be hosting the cast of Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" at the White House Monday to discuss theimportance of talking about mental health.
Several actors from the hit show including Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein visited to discuss why people should address "mental health to promote overall well-being."
Bidentweeteda suggestion to the visit Sunday with a photo of a sign that reads, "BELIEVE" above one of the doors to the Oval Office, which references the sign that the title character, played by Sudeikis, hangs above his office door.
Prior to the meeting, Sudeikis and a few other cast members attended the top of a briefing held by White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre.
"No matter who you are, no matter where you live, no matter who you voted for, we all probably know someone -- or have been that someone ourselves actually -- that's struggled, that's felt isolated, that's felt anxious, that's felt alone," Sudeikis said at Monday's briefing. "And it's actually one of the many things that, believe it or not, that we all have in common as human beings."
Sudeikis called on Americans to check in with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and others to see how they're doing and for people to not be afraid to ask for help if they need it.
"Look, I know in this town, a lot of folks don't always agree and don't always feel heard, seen, listened to," he said. "But I truly believe that we should all do our best to help take care of each other."
According to a press release from Apple TV+, the themes of "Ted Lasso" have focused on "optimism, kindness, and determination."
The series, which saw its third season premiere last week, has also not shied away from depicting mental health struggles.
Lasso is an American football coach who moves to England to coach a Premier League soccer team. He generally has a sunny disposition, but cracks begin to show as past trauma catches up with him.
Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, played by Sarah Niles, is brought in to help one of the team's soccer players after a penalty kick gone wrong shakes him up. However, she soon begins to have one-on-one conversations with all the players.
Although Lasso initially resists Fieldstone's attempts to have a session with him, he eventually visits her after experiencing a debilitating panic attack.
Over a series of sessions, Lasso and Fieldstone dig down to discover the root cause of Lasso's anxiety.
"Ted Lasso" co-creator and cast member Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard, told Phil Lipof on "ABC News Live" Friday that the response from fans to Lasso entering therapy has been overwhelmingly positive.
"The feedback we've gotten from people on this show is so uniquely moving -- and has been from the beginning for various reasons -- but, when we added the therapy element, heard back from a lot of different people about how therapy has helped their lives and some people who were just finally taking the step to start therapy because of the show," Hunt said.
In several speeches, including his most recent State of the Union in January, Biden has said one of the key proposals of his administration is improving mental health.
The administration has provided more than $500 million to help states launch the988 Suicide and Crisis Lifelineand has distributed funds to help more schools hire mental health professionals that can connect with students either in person or via telehealth.
Biden has also called on lawmakers to pass legislation that would prevent social media companies from collecting personal data on children and teenagers as well as ban targeted advertising to children.
"President Biden has made addressing the mental health crisis a core pillar of his Unity Agenda," the White House said in a statement. "His strategy is focused on training more providers, making care more affordable and accessible, and creating healthier and safer communities, including online."
The White House did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment.
