The twelve definitive Hartley references. Each one is a working document — reviewed every six months, updated when the field updates.
The pillar guides are the spine of Hartley. Each is a long-form reference on one of the twelve topics every parent of a struggling teen will eventually face. They are not articles. They are working documents — built to be returned to.
The guides are being built in priority order. Each goes through writing, editing, and clinical review before publication, then receives a structured review every six months to keep it current with research and practice.
