The founder of I Am Hope says every cent of a funding boost will go into mental health counsellors.
The Government has announced the Budget will include $24 million going into Mike King's Gumboot Friday initiative over four years.
It gives under-25s free counselling.
King says kids often take on the stress of adults around them.
"It's huge for the mental health of the kids in New Zealand - they can get timely and quick service."
