My friend recently told me he s depressed. I want to help but I don t know what to do?

Recently my friend told me he s depressed and about the things that happen to him at home. It s such a shock to me because he seems very happy, he has an amazing sense of humor and a beautiful smile. It breaks my heart to know he s depressed. He sad his parents are divorced and he hasn t seen his dad in months. Is mom is abusive. She beats him and yells at him for the smallest things. When he starts to cry she yells at him even more. He s tried to tell his parents about his depression, but he says in Chinese culture (he s Chinese) depression is something you keep to yourself. So his parents don t want to get m help because they don t think it s i,portent, and it s too expensive. I really want to help him but I don t know how. Please, any suggestions are welcome.
