The Family Care Office (FCO) supports University of Toronto students, staff, faculty, librarians, postdoctoral fellows, and their families as they navigate the intersections of caregiving, parenting, work, and study. Our services reflect our commitment to an inclusive definition of family.

Family Care Office Study Hub
Study Hub for Student Parents and Student Caregivers
Date & Time: Fridays, October 16th – November 27th from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Location: Online via Zoom or at the FCO!
The Family Care Office Study Hub is a supportive space for student parents and student caregivers to stay focused and motivated, balancing academics and caregiving. Whether you are reading, writing, or reviewing, this is a quiet, structured time to work alongside others who understand your experience.
Facilitated by a peer mentor from the Family Care Office team, we begin with a short check-in using the SMART Goal worksheet and follow a gentle structure inspired by the Pomodoro method, offering time to focus and take mindful breaks.
In-person participants are invited to stay for a bring-you-own-lunch student parent/caregiver meet-up from 12pm – 1pm. Beverages and desserts will be provided.
St. George students can count attendance at the FCO Hubs towards CCR credit as a Community Contributor. We hope that you join us!
Students from the St. George campus should register via Folio.
Students from UTM and UTSC should email family.care@utoronto.ca to receive access to the online hub.
