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.

BRHF is a FREE and VOLUNTARY program designed for families that are pregnant or have recently delivered a baby.  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.

BRHF service population is defined as expectant parents or parents of infants up to three months of age, who reside in Avery, Buncombe, Mitchell and Yancey Counties and who may face personal stressors and are interested in guided support for their parenting journey.
