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.
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.
Older students often avoid reading support not because they “don’t care,” but because embarrassment is louder than instruction. This session shows how shame blocks learning, how identity threat impacts engagement, and how to redesign reading practice so students can build skills while maintaining dignity. Tascha Just offers strategies for culturally responsive literacy support, discreet scaffolding, and language-rich materials that invite participation—without “baby books,” compliance battles, or public exposure.
Many systems still treat neurodivergent traits as problems to extinguish. Tascha Just reframes behavior as communication and adaptation—then equips teams to respond with clarity, boundaries, and empathy. Learn how to reduce power struggles, write needs and goals that aren’t “be compliant,” and create supports that honor sensory needs, autonomy, and cultural context. This talk is especially useful for special education teams, mental health providers, and leaders updating policy or practice.
Most trainings focus on the crisis; few teach the recovery. This session provides a “post-incident” playbook: nervous-system reset, rapid reflection, and team repair—so the next student/client doesn’t get the leftover stress from the last one. Tascha Just blends story, humor, and practical tools to prevent cumulative trauma in helping professionals while strengthening trust, consistency, and morale.
