Service Advocacy Respect for persons with MR/DD (SAR) is a nonprofit organization formed almost sixty years ago by a group of parents who sought services for their family members with mental retardation. As very few services and supports existed in those years, the union of SAR families brought vitality and a strength in numbers can-do attitude to our community. Over the years, SAR has created and developed many worthwhile programs and services for the benefit of families in the Sacramento area. Today, SAR provides advocacy, education, future planning and conservatorship services, workshops, seminars and protection services. SAR is available for individual advocacy services to families experiencing difficulty with an aspect of the system of supports. SAR also provides systemic advocacy on issues impacting groups of individuals with mental retardation on a local, regional or national basis. |
