WHO IS BRHF?
For many new parents, having a baby can seem overwhelming, especially if there’s no support network around you. That’s where we can help: Our goal is to help you become a great parent!
At Blue Ridge Healthy Families, you’ll find people that care about you, and your child. We can help with parenting techniques, and talk about ages and stages of your baby’s mental and physical development. We know you want them to grow up happy and healthy, and have a great life. All of that begins now.

We specialize in providing empathic support that serves to assist families in developing nurturing and responsive parent-child relationships. Highly qualified family support specialists (home-visitors) partner with families to guide their parenting practices, respond to their individual needs, and establish family goals all within the context of child-centered services.
