In a far-flung region with little public transportation, those few school counselors often are the only mental health professionals available to students.Hennessey Lustica has been overseeing grant-funded efforts to train and hire more school psychologists, counselors and social workers in the Finger Lakes region, but those efforts may soon come to end — a casualty of the Trump administration’s decision to cancel school mental health grants around the country.“Cutting this funding is just going to devastate kids,” said Lustica,…
