That was the subject of the visit this week, as the show’s cast members were invited by President Joe Biden to discuss the importance of advocating for mental health issues.

One of the running themes through the AppleTV+ series has been the importance of self care, Sudeikis discussed how people at home can support themselves and those they know who are dealing with mental health struggles.

“It’s something that we can all, and should, talk about with one another when we’re feeling that way, or when we recognize that in someone feeling that way,” Sudeikis said about mental illness during the White House press briefing.
