HELP DEALING WITH
STRESSFUL TIMES
GENPSYCHE, a provider of mental health services, has
opened a new intensive outpatient program in Wayne. It
is said to be the first in town at which practitioners will
use the DBT method of treatment on all its clients.
DBT helps individuals become mindful, tolerate stress
and soothe themselves, regulate their emotions and
have better relationships with others. In addition to its
adult mental health program, the Wayne location is
offering an outpatient program for adolescents starting this
September to help teens struggling with issues including
anxiety, depression, defiance, anger and bipolar disorder.
Private insurance only is accepted at this location. • 1501

FROM MAKING THE MOVES
TO ANALYZING THEM
Former Carolina Panther and current Seattle Seahawks
All-Pro tight end GREG OLSEN, 35, has his post-football
career already mapped out, according to recent reporting
by ESPN.com: The plan is to serve as the No. 2NFL game
analyst on Fox Sports. Though Olsen, who grew up in
Wayne and attended Wayne Hills High School, says he has
no plans to retire any time soon, the current Fox contract
pairs Olsen with play-by-play sportscaster Kevin Burkhardt.
If the Seahawks don’t make the playoffs and Olsen opts to
leave after this season, he could potentially take on the
analyst role for the playoffs.

PRECISION
TEXTILES TO
THE RESCUE
Prior to the COVID
crisis, PRECISION
TEXTILES’ Medical
Gown Series line
accounted for asmall fraction of its sales —about 1
percent. Then, as reported in Northjersey.com, company
CEO Scott Tesser learned Englewood hospital was setting
up beds to handle the overflow of patients, and sent 500
of its mattress covers to help. Readers from all over
responded, and soon Precision was fielding calls from
makers of protective gowns from New York,
Massachusetts, North Carolina and elsewhere.
Though in the beginning, the company’s machines were
not set up to make the special material for the protective
gowns, “By June we were producing a million and a half
yards a week,” says Tesser’s partner and Precision’s
founder, Peter Longo. Tesser says that some employees
worked 20-hour days, but he doesn’t recall anyone
complaining because they felt they were on a mission.
