Join us for a fascinating conversation with Vince Benevento, founder of The Causeway Collaborative. Drawing from his personal journey through recovery as a young man, Vince created something different - a program specifically designed for young men who need more than just talk therapy. Through male mentorship, community engagement, career development, and practical life skills, Causeway helps bridge the critical gap between intensive treatment and true independence.
Our compelling conversation when we begin discussing parental expectations versus a young person's authentic path. "If you want to have a meaningful, lifelong relationship with your kid, maybe it makes sense to modify your expectations and actually listen to what your kid has to say," Vince advises, challenging parents to prioritize connection over achievement metrics.
For parents, professionals, or anyone concerned about supporting young men through mental health challenges, this episode offers valuable insights into creating pathways that actually work - even for those most resistant to help.
