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.

Your words matter, but your actions matter more. Your son is always watching—how you handle conflict, how you treat others, how you talk about yourself. Respect, honesty, vulnerability, patience—he learns these not from lectures but from your daily example. Show him the kind of man you hope he becomes. It starts with you.

The teenage years don’t break your bond—they stretch it into something new.

You’re not failing if parenting feels different right now. You’re growing, too. What worked when they were 5 won’t work at 15—and that’s okay.

This season calls for less control and more connection. Less managing, more mentoring. Less holding on, more guiding alongside.

You’re not losing them. You’re learning how to stay close while giving them room to grow into who they’re meant to be.

We’re here to walk that with you—one conversation, one reminder, one tool at a time.

Follow along for scripts, tips, and support. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

As parents, we often want to raise kind, respectful, well-liked kids. But in the process, we sometimes confuse compliance with character.

Letting your son know it’s okay to say no gives him something powerful—the confidence to honor his own boundaries. It teaches him that standing up for what he believes, or stepping away from what doesn’t feel right, is a sign of strength, not defiance.

And just as importantly, when you model that same boundary-setting in your own life, you're giving him permission to do the same.

It starts at home. And it starts with you.

Teen boys aren’t emotionless; they’re just often unsure where it’s safe to be real. Your presence, your patience, and your willingness to listen without fixing can make all the difference. Start small. Ask how they’re really doing. Then keep showing up.

New year, same goal: raise boys who are grounded, emotionally aware, and resilient.

Let go of the pressure to fix everything overnight. Instead, focus on how you show up day by day, moment by moment.
We’re with you. This year, we’ll keep the tools and reminders coming.

Follow us for more weekly support. Let’s keep showing up—together.

First Monday of the new year. A blank page.

No matter what last year held, today begins a new chapter—written by you, shaped by the choices you make, and the values you model.

There’s opportunity in every conversation, every boundary set with love, every moment of presence.

This year, let’s lead with intention. Let’s raise boys with courage, clarity, and connection.

We’re glad you’re here. Let’s write this next chapter—together.

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.

Follow us for more tools that support your relationship with your son.

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.
