The specialized subsidiaries include the Bersenbrücker Technik GmbH (BeTec), which offers a variety of craft services such as welding and gardening [3][5][4].
The main mission of HpH is to sustainably promote the self-determined social participation of people with disabilities and to remove barriers in the immediate living environment - both physical (such as access barriers) as well as communicative and social. To this end, the HpH Foundation is committed to promoting projects that support education, counseling and inclusion in order to reduce social disadvantages and enable participation in public life [6][7].
Central values of the Heilpädagogische Hilfe Bersenbrück are diversity, appreciation and inclusion. The company underlined this by signing the "Charta der Vielfalt", which stands for an open and non-discriminatory corporate culture towards all employees - regardless of origin, religion, gender, disability or other characteristics [3].
Sustainability and social responsibility are deeply rooted in HpH's mission statement: In addition to social sustainability through the promotion of people with disabilities, economic sustainability is also ensured through a variety of jobs and integration opportunities. In addition, HpH supports companies in the region as a reliable partner in vocational rehabilitation and labor market integration [5]. The comprehensive range of housing options - from assisted living to independent living with support - ensures individual support and a dignified, self-determined life in the community [9].
Founded as an association and managed by Managing Director Guido Uhl, HpH works closely with municipalities and other social institutions to build a reliable network for inclusion and support. The combination of social competence with professional service makes HpH an important player in disability services in the region [2][7].
