Relevant articles, research papers and academic journals are reviewed to gather data and insights on this topic. The comprehensive analysis underscores that the role of teacher-student relationships in providing social and psychological support to participants of the educational process is paramount for the comprehensive growth of students. These relationships serve as pillars in: 1) building emotional resilience; 2) enhancing social skills 3) supporting academic and personal growth; 4) addressing mental health needs; 5) fostering a supportive educational environment.

The influence of positive teacher-student relationships goes well beyond just academic success, playing a crucial role in the holistic development of students by shaping their social abilities, emotional well-being and potential for future achievements.
