Support Resources for Employees

Sunday, March 29, 2026, 7:47pm

TO: Sonoma State Employees
FR: Chandra Holte, AVP for Human Resources

Our campus community finds itself in a period of loss and many are feeling the weight of this moment in different ways. We are mourning members of our community whose presence and contributions shaped Sonoma State in meaningful and lasting ways, and we know this may be experienced differently by each of us.

In support of our campus, the University has arranged for on-site counselors through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), LifeMatters by Empathia, to be available this week. Counselors will be on campus in Stevenson 2407 and are available to support staff and faculty through both individual and group drop-in sessions during the following times:

  • Monday: 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 - 2:30 p.m.
  • Wednesday: 11:00 - 5:00 p.m.
  • Thursday: 10:00 - 2:00 p.m.
  • Friday: 10:00 - 4:00 p.m.

If it would feel helpful to talk with someone or be in community with others, we encourage you to use these resources. Confidential support is also available for employees and their families at any time online or via telephone through our EAP.
