BOSTON, May 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 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.
