The Department for Health and Social Care has announced an extra £3 million in funding for the hubs which offer services including psychological therapies, specialist advice on sexual health, exam worries, jobs, drugs, alcohol and financial concerns.
It initially earmarked £4.92 million to fund 10 new hubs in October last year.
The hubs are open to those aged 11 to 25 and are available for anyone who may not meet the threshold to receive NHS support.
A network of around 70 early support hubs currently exist across the country. They are run by a range of local services including volunteer organisations, NHS trusts and local authorities.
