Lyndhurst, New Jersey, October 25, 2005 - ReadyMinds announced today that as a result of the successful training that occurred in conjunction with the 2005 NCDA Conference, ReadyMinds will be conducting a second annual Distance Credentialed Counselor Training (DCC) as a pre-conference event at the NCDA Global Conference in 2006.

The 2006 NCDA Conference will be taking place in Chicago, Illinois on July 7-9, 2006. The theme of the 2006 Conference will be "Honoring Community: Creativity and Collaboration." The ReadyMinds DCC Training Workshop will occur on July 5-6. Both events will be taking place at the Hilton Chicago.

Martha Russell, President of NCDA said, " NCDA's collaborative efforts to present members with current, quality and dynamic professional development opportunities is represented in this segment of our conference. We thank ReadyMinds for their participation."

Randy Miller, CEO of ReadyMinds was quoted, " ReadyMinds is pleased to deliver this training in Chicago. We are delighted to be working with NCDA for the second year in a row."

The initial training attracted 25 professionals and was met with very positive feedback. One attendee seemed to share what was the consensus opinion of those who attended when she indicated that, "the content covered was broad enough to address those who were interested in distance mental health services as well as those interested in career counseling using the distance modality."

In confirming its commitment to working with NCDA, ReadyMinds will be offering a discount to NCDA members who wish to participate in the pre-conference DCC Workshop.
