AB S.  E.  McKnight,  DNP,  MSN,  BA,  RN-BC,  is  a  career  mental  health  educator  who  has  served  in  a  compassionate  mental  health  nursing  practice  for  more  than  22  years.  Her  specialty  is  de-escalation  training  to  prevent  violence  and  promote  holistic  wellness  and  recovery.  No  longer  a  skill  practiced  only  by  the  mental  health  disciplines,  de-escalation  has  become  a  critical  skill  for  all  healthcare  practices,  domains,  and  disciplines.  McKnight  has  had  the  privilege  of  witnessing  the  dramatic  transformation  of  chaotic  healthcare  environments  into  safe,  caring,  and  healing  environments  with  the  implementation  of  de-escalation  education  programs  for  all  healthcare  staff.  Presently  McKnight  teaches  mental  health  nursing  at  the  University  of  West  Florida  in  Pensacola,  Florida,  where  she  educates  the  next  generation  of  healthcare  professionals  in  safe,  holistic  nursing  care.
