Causeway Collaborative

Causeway Collaborative When talking is going nowhere,
we're somewhere that can help.

Causeway began in the fall of 2012, initially a single-man shop founded by Vince Benevento with a vision to improve the lives of young men. The business grew rapidly out of its original office space based upon the need in the community, developing a strong reputation and a trusted team of local referral partners in the process. Now, the firm is comprised of a highly trained staff of eight distinguished professionals spanning three separate business divisions: Career Development, Clinical Services, and Therapeutic Mentorship.

This December, we’re holding space for anyone navigating growth, grief, or the quiet in between. Healing isn’t about erasing the past, it’s about reclaiming your power from it. Every step forward matters, no matter how small.

Save this as a reminder and share it with someone who may need it this season.

Some words are hard to say out loud, but important to hear.

This letter to teen boys comes from a place of love, experience, and compassion—a reminder that while life brings challenges, they are not alone. Behind every tough day is a parent who sees them, believes in them, and is here to guide them through.

Save it, share it, or send it to a young man who could use the encouragement. Sometimes, the right words land at just the right time.

Sometimes we think parenting means applying pressure, giving advice, or always having the right answer. But often, your steady presence is what your teen needs most. Being there without demanding change speaks louder than any lecture. Show up, stay close, and let your calm lead the way.

Let me know if you’d like two or three alternate versions in different tones.

Your tone teaches more than your words.

Every time your teen vents, your response shapes how safe they feel expressing their emotions. Staying calm doesn’t mean letting everything slide—it means showing them it’s okay to feel deeply without fear of being shut down or judged.

The goal isn’t to fix every problem. It’s to help them feel heard, understood, and emotionally safe.

Parenting a Teenager Is Like Learning a New Language

Some days, they’ll talk for hours. Others, you’re lucky to get a one-word answer.
They’re forming their identity, testing boundaries, and figuring out who they are.

It’s not rebellion. It’s growth.

This chapter isn’t easy, but it’s one of your best opportunities to shape how they see the world—and themselves.

Here are five lessons every teen needs to learn, and they’re looking to you to model them:

✅ Respect goes both ways. Listen before correcting.
✅ Peer pressure is real. Help them practice saying no.
✅ Consistency matters. Show how daily effort adds up.
✅ Healthy relationships require respect. Talk about what that looks like.
✅ Independent thinking is powerful. Teach them to pause before reacting.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Just stay connected. Stay calm. Stay available.

Take A Moment To Be Grateful For Each Other

Thanksgiving is more than food and football—it's a chance to slow down, look around the table, and appreciate the people beside you.

Whether things have been calm or chaotic lately, this season reminds us to lead with gratitude, especially at home.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us.

They are always watching, even when it seems like they are not.

When things get stressful, your son learns more from how you act than what you say. Your reactions, your breathing, your silence—they all become part of how he learns to manage his own emotions.

Staying calm does not mean having it all together. It means showing him how to respond instead of react. It means giving him a model of what it looks like to stay grounded when life gets messy.

Your presence is shaping his future. Keep showing up.

You don’t have to rush your becoming.

We put so much pressure on young men to “figure it out” by a certain age—but growth doesn’t follow a timeline. You are still unfolding, still learning, still becoming who you are meant to be.

Take the pressure off. Take the next step. That’s enough for today.

The end of the year brings joy, but also pressure, expectations, and emotions, especially for boys trying to make sense of it all.

This season, don’t just ask how school’s going. Ask how he’s doing.

Slowing down to connect, really connect, can make all the difference.

Validating your teen’s emotions doesn’t mean having all the answers; it means showing up, listening, and making space for what they’re feeling.

These six phrases are simple, but powerful. Use them often.

Know a parent who could use this? Share it with them. Let’s keep learning together.
