About RBL

Resources for Better Living is a small for-profit company with a mission to promote health and well-being through motivational information, education strategies, policy work, and research. It is located near the Nation's Capitol, where many health-related organizations interface with legislators. However, not so near that the benefits of country life are lost: Beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia offers a balanced perspective on living.

RBL was started in 1998; Linda Royer, President and owner, focused first on health behavior change, particularly in tobacco cessation. Training and intervention products are described and purchasable on this website. Recent developmental plans and grant-seeking efforts have centered around a pro-active telephone and web-supported counseling model for tobacco cessation and weight management based on current science that states adult individuals need long-term health behavior change assistance to be successful. RBL believes it has an effective wholistic approach and is inviting other health professionals and funders to consider the concept.

Interest in health promotion and the community's health has led Linda to focus in three intersecting professional areas:

  • education and development of health professionals-particularly nurses;
  • development of collaborative community entities such as health councils and congregational, or faith, nursing;
  • health behavior change.

    Her skills in assessment, program development, and presentation together make an effective workshop or seminar for schools, corporations, and communities.
