LISTEN: Professor Paul Lanier joins WUNC for discussion on PRTFs

Listeners who tuned into WUNC 91.5 FM North Carolina Public Radio at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 4, heard UNC School of Social Work Professor Paul Lanier and Disability Rights NC Assistant Legal Director Holly Stiles with “Due South” host Jeff Tiberii having an in-depth discussion on North Carolina’s youth mental health and Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) specifically.

The conversation was a follow-up to WUNC Supervising Editor for Digital News’ Jason DeBruyn’s three-part series earlier in the week on the subject of PRTFs in North Carolina, one of Lanier’s research areas of focus. Listen to the “Due South” episode here. Read the three-part series on PRTFs here.
