We are pleased to announce a new University-wide benefit, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

The program is designed to provide professional assistance to you and your family in assessing and resolving personal problems that may be affecting your well-being.

These services, consisting of assessment, referral and short-term counseling, will be provided by Empathia Pacific, Inc., an employee support company. There is no cost to you or your immediate family. Empathia counselors are experienced, licensed professionals who have specialized training in employee assistance consultation. Your participation in the program is absolutely voluntary, and information that you discuss with the consultant is completely confidential (certain very limited exceptions, such as child abuse or potential for violence, mandated under state and federal laws, are discussed with you in advance.) Your participation in the program remains strictly a matter between you and the EAP counselor, and it is not reported to San Francisco State University managers or Human Resources.

San Francisco State University believes that the EAP can be a most valuable resource in helping you maintain a satisfying and productive life, and we are pleased to include this service as a benefit.

The new Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is featured in a recent SF State Top Stories article highlighting the new benefit offers for employees with free comprehensive counseling and assistance in dealing with personal and professional challenges.
