As part of the expansion, the Early Action Task Force will increase the support it gives to organisations across the UK to deliver preventative services to under-18s.
Measures include training on early intervention approaches for small voluntary groups, and more research into ways to avert mental ill-health, housing difficulties and unemployment.
The task force will also carry out an audit of its 650-plus member organisations to find ways to better involve them in early intervention work with children, young people and adults.
The expansion is being paid for by a £498,000 Big Lottery Fund grant to Community Links, the charity behind the task force.
