Amae Health chief medical officer Dr Scott Fears said: “In collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, the Amae Institute empowers clinicians with cutting-edge training, merging academic rigour with the scalability of a public benefit corporation to revolutionise mental health treatment.
“This initiative is not just about improving care— it’s a movement to conquer mental health disorders and create a future where no one is defined by their diagnosis. Beyond care, towards cure.”
Amae Health, utilising a data-driven approach, focuses on combining psychosocial interventions, pharmacologic treatment, health and wellness coaching, primary care services, and recovery-oriented support.
The Massachusetts General Hospital clinical educator team, to be led by Dr Corinne Cather and Dr Kim Mueser, will contribute to the professional education programme at Amae Health.

Dr Cather said: “Through this collaboration between MGH and Amae Health, we aim to deliver education and training that will empower Amae’s clinicians to provide the highest quality of care to patients with SMI.”
Amae Health integrates psychiatrists, primary care providers, therapists, dietitians, health coaches and peer support experts into a unified, collaborative care team.
This whole-person approach is designed to bridge the gap between physical and behavioural health, aiming to reduce long-term healthcare costs by minimising hospital readmissions.
Before this, Amae Health announced the expansion of its integrated care model to New York City, US, providing a comprehensive approach to patients with complex mental health conditions.
