The Collaborative Resource Center of Maryland was founded by Ali Dansker Doyle and Mary McNeish Stengel as the community outreach and educational arm of Collaborative Training Solutions, LLC. The mission of The Collaborative Resource Center of Maryland is to provide information to the legal, mental health, and financial community on issues related to Collaborative practice. The CRCM office is in Baltimore at 6 Reservoir Circle, Suite 201. Professionals interested in pursuing information about Collaborative practice can stop by the office and speak with interdisciplinary Collaborative professionals, and access books, CDs, DVDs, and training information. Experienced Collaborative practitioners interested in discussing practice issues and perfecting their skills through role-plays and video taping can join the Collaborative Roundtable at Baltimore (CRAB). Office and conference room space are available for Collaborative professionals to use on an hourly or daily basis for a nominal fee.

The Collaborative Roundtable at Baltimore (CRAB) is operated through the Collaborative Resource Center of Maryland (CRCM). CRAB meets at the office of Collaborative Training Solutions on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 9:00 a.m. In keeping with the mission of the Collaborative Resource Center of Maryland, CRAB will be a practice group in its purest form. There will be no board of directors and no dues. Membership requirements are that participants have successfully completed an Introductory Collaborative training that meets the standards of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), are members of the IACP, they maintain and increase their knowledge and competence in their practice area, and that they are committed to and endorse the interdisciplinary model. A nominal donation of $3.00 to go toward food for meetings is requested but not required.
