Vicky shares her experiences of supporting a friend at university: "I've learnt a lot - it's been a long journey, but it's been a really positive one and I've made some of the best friendships out of it. Over the past six years I have learnt so much and have been inspired to use my passion to enable people to support those around them in the best possible way."
