Podcast: Westport Family Counseling hosts the guys from Causeway Collaborative

This article was written by Jen Chase-Corwin and reviewed/edited by Vince Benevento.

Nicholas Strouse talks with Vince Benevento and his colleagues who have formed a team to help young men who may have lost their way. Over the course of the podcast, they explore a crisis that many young men are facing in Westport: the inability to find an identity as a man, and an inertia that has stalled the ability to locate meaning and purpose. In this frank discussion, the Causeway Collaborative Team looks at the precarious combination of feeling pressure to “become something” that–when mixed with “aimlessness”–creates a vulnerability to become derailed.
