This is a heartbreaking reminder of the devastating impact addiction, mental health challenges, trauma, and grief can have on individuals and families. Hayden’s openness about her struggles helped others feel less alone and encouraged important conversations about seeking help. Let’s continue the conversation and support one another with compassion.

Hayden Panettiere died on Aug. 16 of an apparent overdose. She was 36.

The actress struggled with addiction, mental health challenges, and the loss of her brother Jansen in 2023.

Friends and costars remember her as kind, authentic, and deeply devoted to helping others through her openness.

“She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen," her father, Alan Lee Panettiere, said.

As New Jersey experiences more frequent and longer-lasting periods of extreme heat, taking care of one's physical and mental health is more important than ever. Extreme heat can contribute to psychological distress, worsening of existing mental health conditions, and increased risk of substance use and relapse. Adults aged 65+ with behavioral health conditions and chronic medical conditions are at greater risk of heat-related illness.

This Dry July, choose hydration over dehydration: Say no to alcohol and say yes to your health. Challenge yourself to make choices that support your health, strengthen your resilience, and remind yourself that you don't need alcohol to enjoy life. Let hydration, self-care, and community support help you stay strong all summer long.

This month is a time to focus on the unique challenges that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) face when it comes to mental health.

Over 60 million adults in the U.S. experienced a mental illness in the past year and over 46 million people had a substance use disorder (SUD). Only 37.9% of African American adults and 39.6% of Hispanic adults with mental illness receive treatment each year compared to the U.S. average of 50.6%. Asian American adults with mental illness are least likely to receive mental health treatment — only 36.1% of Asian adults with a mental illness received treatment in 2022.

At Overcome, we provide an in-depth outpatient program (IOP) for individuals needing assistance with substance abuse disorders and concurrent mental health issues. To learn more call: 908-529-0813 or email: [email protected].
