The announcements are part of David Cameron's speech focused on the government's plans to transform people's life chances. The investments have also been recommended by NHS England's independent mental health taskforce.
Included in the funding, is £290 million of new investment over the next five years to provide mental healthcare for new mums.
One in five new mothers develop a mental health problem around the time of the birth of their child and some 30,000 more women need specialist services. If untreated, this can turn into a life-long illness, proven to increase the likelihood of poor outcomes to the mother or new baby.
The government investment in the years to 2020 will mean that at least 30,000 more women each year will have access to specialist mental healthcare before and after having their baby. For example, through perinatal classes, new community perinatal teams and more beds in mother and baby units, women with serious mental health problems can get the best support and keep their babies with them.
Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, said: "Giving people the right mental health support is one of the most important ways to make sure everyone has the best start in life.
"We are boosting the mental health support available for young people with £1.4 billion over the next 5 years, putting more mental health professionals in emergency departments and helping new and expectant mums and their babies to be happy and healthy."
