Reset’s Living Room is a simple solution to our major problem of loneliness. It’s like a gym for your social health.

What is Social health ?

While physical health relates to the body and mental health relates to the mind, social health is the aspect of our wellbeing that stems from connection and community. It speaks to our ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships, enjoy a sense of belonging and engage in healthy interactions with others. This is important because our relationships determine both how well we live and how long we live.

Through our available services, private online community, programs and events, Reset’s Living Room provides opportunities to build social connection and social skills, leading to increased individual and collective social health.

From the Team

“The first thing you notice upon arriving is an embracing warmth. Not only from the bright colours and charming setup, but also from the folks that will greet you at the door and offer a hug to welcome you. You take off your shoes, grab a pair of complimentary slippers, and help yourself to a cozy seat on the plush red couches, or make a cup of tea in the communal kitchen. You see stacks of boardgames, books and craft supplies residing in nooks and crannies. The room smells of popcorn - freshly popped, and you can feel your mouth water. You hear some laughter and tapping keys over the ever changing playlists. You are invited to join in conversation if you wish to, but you can hear the sauna calling your name and choose to enjoy that instead.”

- Gen Melito, Managing Director

“I love coworking from the Reset Centre - it has all the comforts of working from home (e.g., comfy spots to work from, coffee + tea, clean bathrooms, places to nap) with the added bonus of a super friendly and welcoming community.”

Jaymie Rosen

“The best way I can describe Reset is like going to a friend's house. It's cozy, warm, and welcoming.”

A note about lineage....

The idea of a Community Living Room is not ours and we are proudly building from the love, labour and leadership of many people.

We initially learned about the concept of a Community Living Room from similar projects led by the Centre for Social Innovation Regent Park, the Daniels Corporation and !Kona from Black Chat Vancouver.

It is also important that we acknowledge the broader movement of those exploring "third spaces" designed to address our increasing disconnection.

We’ve drawn inspiration from various bodies of work and wisdom. Those most impactful are by adrienne maree brown, bell hooks, Vivek Murthy, Priya Parker, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Jane Jacobs, Ted Lasso, Robert D. Putnam, Johann Hari, Gabor Maté, Valerie Kaur, Arundhati Roy, Mr. Rogers, Tricia Hersey, Brené Brown, Esther Perel and ALOK.

Additionally, this idea has been significantly influenced and inspired by the Reset Community, the Little Jamaica Community, the City of Toronto's Cultural District Program Plan led by Jay Pitter Placemaking and the Toronto Foundation’s Vital Signs Report.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge our property partners at 42 Communities, the City of Toronto's Cultural Hotspot program and the Government of Canada’s Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario’s Main Street Innovation program for their respective financial contributions to our prototypes that preceded and deeply informed our Living Room.
