Refer a Colleague

In honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month this September, PRMS is pleased to donate to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and announce the return of Double Donations through our “Refer a Colleague” program! For every referral PRMS receives, we provide a $50 donation to a state psychiatric association, NAMI, or a national or regional specialty psychiatric association of the referrer’s choice – whether or not an insurance policy is purchased. All donations provided by PRMS are doubled to $100 through September 30, 2021! Please check out our blog and visit PRMS.com/Refer to learn more about the program and start earning donations for your organization today.
