Ep 192: Navigating Major Unusual Incidents (MUIs): Expert Tips and Strategies for Developmental Disability Care Providers
Welcome back to “Friends for Life,” the podcast where we dive deep into the realities and nuances of working in the field of developmental disabilities. I’m your host, Tony, and today we’re tackling the often daunting topic of Major Unusual Incidents (MUIs). From personal experience and countless conversations with professionals, I know that facing an MUI can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
In this episode, we’ll discuss practical strategies for staying calm during an MUI, the importance of meticulous documentation, and why it’s crucial to stick to the facts. We’ll also explore common mistakes people make during these situations and how to avoid them. Remember, MUIs are about documenting facts to prevent future issues, not about assigning blame.
For those new to this topic, I encourage you to check out our previous episodes on MUIs and reach out to your local departments for more information. As always, we are here to support you with valuable insights and resources to help you navigate your career in developmental disabilities.
