The Unconventional Path To Supporting Young Men's Mental Health: Why ‘Meeting Them Where They Are’ Works With Vince Benevento

Vince Benevento [https://www.linkedin.com/in/vince-benevento-008996171] of Causeway Collaborative [https://causewaycollaborative.com/] believes the conventional approach to supporting young men’s mental health is fundamentally flawed. Statistics show that 80% to 90% of boys who need help aren’t getting it. Whether they’re dealing with substance use issues, college academic probation, or just feeling “stuck,” many young men resist being dragged along to therapy. In this powerful conversation, Vince—a licensed professional counselor and a former “wayward young man” himself—shares his revolutionary methodology. He details how Causeway Collaborative empowers young men (ages 16–30) to take ownership of their own care by focusing on action, physical movement, and building structure and routine, rather than relying on quick fixes and labels. This is essential reading for any parent seeking to support their son without pushing too hard or pulling away completely. Reading about mental health is hard.
