Last time I checked, that's not how we define income unless he's saying that this additional support is what's driving a concomitant rise in income. I believe that it is indeed what he is saying, and moreover it makes sense. That help can help them get jobs and resolve problems holding them back that they could not otherwise have resolved. This applies more to the low end of the economic scale than the high end of course, but then the low end statistically has more suicide attempts so would make up the bulk of the relevant population.
