The study group of the research consists of 12 psychological counselors working in public schools in the Central Black Sea region in the 2022-2023 academic year. Participants were determined using easily accessible sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods. The phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the research. Data was obtained through a semi-structured interview form. After content analysis of the data obtained, themes and codes were created. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the participants participated in the program due to internal, external and professional factors. It was observed that they handled the situation they encountered in two categories: the physical situation and the situation of the earthquake victims. As a result of the research, a number of studies carried out by the participants in the preparation phase, implementation phase and evaluation phases of the psychosupport program were discussed. Additionally, it was concluded that the participants acquired some professional and personal knowledge and skills as a result of their participation in the psychosocial support program. Finally, the data were discussed together with the literature findings and some suggestions were made to psychological counselors and psychosocial program stakeholders.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, Kahramanmaraş depreminde psikososyal destek çalışmalarında görev alan psikolojik danışmanların deneyimlerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılında Orta Karadeniz bölgesinde devlet okullarında görev yapan 12 psikolojik danışmandan oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılar amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden biri olan kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgu bilim deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin içerik analizi yapıldıktan sonra temalar ve kodlar oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, katılımcıların içsel, dışsal ve mesleki etkenlerden dolayı programa katıldıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Karşılaştıkları durumu da fiziki durum ve depremzedelerin durumu olarak iki kategoride ele aldıkları görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların psikodestek programının hazırlık aşaması, uygulama aşaması ve değerlendirme aşamalarında yaptıkları bir takım çalışmalar ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca, katılımcıların psikososyal destek programına katılımları sonucunda mesleki ve kişisel bir takım bilgi ve beceriler edindikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Son olarak, veriler alanyazı bulguları ile birlikte tartışılarak, psikolojik danışmanlara ve psikososyal programı paydaşlarına bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
