Wellness · you first

You're a person before you're an attendee

A conference is draining — even for extroverts. Step out when you need to. Breathe. Call someone. These resources are here whenever you want them, no questions.

Not medical advice. The Pack is an offsite companion app, not a substitute for professional mental-health care. If you are in crisis, call 988 or 911. For ongoing support, use the Datadog EAP or speak with a licensed clinician. We never share individual check-ins — organizers only see fully anonymized aggregates once at least five people have checked in in the same window.
