If you are going through pain, sorrow or grief, trust that you are not alone
After losing his 26-year-old son Lawrance to manic depression, philanthropist Yen-Lu Chow set out to transform grief into action by founding - together with his wife - the Over The Rainbow Academy that helps parents with resources and which gives young people a platform to "just be heard".
