The Maple Women's Psychological Counseling Center, Beijing, is a non-profit women's organization (The predecessor was the Women's Research Institute, China Academy of Management Science in October 1988) founded by Ms. Wang Xingjuan and a group of women intellectuals dedicated to women's cause.

As a voluntary organization, its mission is to research on and serve women with a slogan of "Women study women's issue, women educate women, women help women". For 15 years, the Maple Women's Psychological Counseling Center has focused on the goal as follows to conduct work:

1. The major task is to study the new problems that have arisen for women during China's economic reform, and concentrates on policy research and suggestion to departments. During the last few years, the Center has done research on women's employment and political participation, domestic violence, sexual harassment and family problems and community intervention.

2. Caring about women's psychological health. In 1992, the Center started the first Women's Hotline in China to provide free services to women which funded by Ford Foundation.

3. To pay attention to the needs of vulnerable women groups, the Center set up the 'Ark' Family Center in 1998 to provide psychological and social service to single-parent families. In order to improve the adaptability of single-parent families, the "Ark" Family Center tries to provide opportunities for single-parent families to communicate, support and help each other.

4. The women's psychological service in community. The Center cooperated with Tianjin Women's Federation to conduct a 3-year project. The "Family problems and community intervention" project has been carried out in Hong shunli street, Heibei District in Tianjin since 2001. The project pays close attention to the vulnerable women in community and tries to enhance women's self-confidence. The project integrates the formal and informal support systems in community to safeguard women's domestic right and sets up a support network for vulnerable women.
