BOSTON, May 04, 2020 -- Torchlight, a leading provider of employee-caregiver support solutions, announced today the release of the first installment of its “Caregiving in Times of Crisis Toolkit.” The Toolkit is designed for organizations, businesses, individuals, parents, and caregivers in need of assistance and information during the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. With the vast majority of Americans staying at home during the pandemic, many are not only struggling with health concerns and high stress, they are also grappling with eldercare concerns, distance learning, working at home, sudden job losses / furloughs, and the death of loved ones.

By aligning staff and resources, we were able to provide a free, downloadable kit of crucial guides and tools drawn from our digital platform and team of expert advisers.”
