Abstract
Creating Futures (CF) is an independent, collaborative taskforce supported by in-kind commitments from organisations and practitioners. This paper summarises CF 2023 themes and provides an overview of 20 years of CF activities. It highlights challenges and opportunities to integrate global mental health partnerships and regional mental health projects. CF promotes a partnership model which has created an important space for dialogue, publications, training, and peer-to-peer support. This improves visibility of the Pacific voices and brings out a more nuanced discussion of the complexities of mental health capacity building, leading to informed and sustainable developments in mental health care.
