Tascha Just Biography

Tascha Just, Ed.S., NCSP, is a Minnesota-based school psychologist and the founder, director and CEO of SEL Academy, where she helps schools and communities build trauma-responsive, neurodiversity-affirming systems. Just is known for translating brain science into clear, usable tools, such as her DOES-C framework, which stands for dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, serotonin and cortisol, and supports regulation, resilience and shame-free growth for both youth and the adults who serve them.

Just holds an Educational Specialist degree and a master's degree in school psychology from Minnesota State University Moorhead, plus a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Metropolitan State University. With more than 20 years in K-12, Just has led and supported crisis response, special education decision-making and restorative behavior systems. She is president-elect of the Minnesota School Psychologists Association and an appointee to Minnesota's Children's Justice Act Task Force. Her talks blend story, cultural humility and immediately usable protocols, helping teams shift from compliance-based reactions to connection-based, data-informed care that protects staff wellness and improves student outcomes.

Tascha Just Speaking Topics

  • Trauma-Responsive Leadership Without Burnout: Practical Systems for Schools & Human Services

    A high-utility keynote for leaders who are carrying heavy stories, big behaviors, and nonstop transitions. Tascha Just shares how trauma shows up in adults and youth—and how to build systems that protect staff capacity while improving care. Participants learn simple, repeatable protocols for de-escalation, recovery after hard moments, and “next-step leadership” that reduces reactivity and increases consistency across teams. Ideal for administrators, student support teams, school nurses/aides, and county or nonprofit providers.

  • The Prism Effect: DOES-C Brain Chemistry for Regulation, Resilience, and Real Life

    Dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, serotonin—and cortisol—drive motivation, bonding, pain relief, mood stability, and survival responses. Tascha Just translates this neuroscience into an easy framework teams can use immediately with students, families, or clients. Attendees leave with practical “micro-interventions” (2–10 minutes) that help people shift states safely, improve focus, and recover faster after stress—without shaming, over-talking, or forcing disclosure.
