Hohepa Canterbury

Hohepa is a well-established provider of services to people with an intellectual disability, with over fifty years of experience here in Christchurch. Founded on a community model we know that the safe and supportive environment offered from our Halswell or Birchfield campus give the people we support a foundation for reaching their potential. We support 103 people from our two main sites, as well as maintain and manage 24 homes- both on the Hohepa sties and in the wider community. We offer a rich cultural experience based on the principles of the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Steiner’s approach gives people with a disability the opportunity to explore their creative talents, be nurtured through our therapies, and establish a rhythm to their life. Hohepa Canterbury is moving into a phase of creativity and innovation in how we partner with people with an intellectual disability or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Support and services will be co-created with each person we support, culminating with a bespoke plan for each individual.
