Child-Teacher Relationship Training (CTRT)
At Anchor Child Therapy, we understand that teachers and school staff play a vital role in a child’s emotional development. Child-Teacher Relationship Training (CTRT) is an evidence-based program designed to strengthen the connection between educators and students through relationship-based, play-informed strategies.

When children feel seen, understood, and valued at school, they’re better able to learn, regulate emotions, and build confidence. CTRT helps teachers create that kind of supportive environment—one where connection becomes the foundation for growth.
