, /PRNewswire/ -- WebMD Health Services today announced a new partnership with Torchlight Parenting & Caregiving, a product of LifeSpeak Inc., and a leading provider of caregiver support services. This partnership will equip and empower employers and their employees with comprehensive well-being solutions and tools to navigate the complexities of caregiving, addressing a critical need in today's workforce. 

By integrating Torchlight's premier caregiving resources into WebMD ONE, our comprehensive global well-being platform, users will have an enhanced, seamless experience. Together, participants will receive access to essential resources, expert guidance, and personalized support–empowering them to better balance their caregiving responsibilities with their professional and personal lives.

"This partnership reflects WebMD Health Services' commitment to addressing the evolving needs of the modern workforce," said Bruce Foyt, Vice President, partnerships. "As the demands of caregiving impact employees across all industries, the integration of Torchlight with WebMD ONE will provide participants with access to critical resources, expert advice, and personalized support—empowering them to better balance their caregiving responsibilities with work and personal life as part of an effective well-being program."

Torchlight's suite of solutions includes an intuitive, digital platform offering personalized caregiving plans, access to live consultations, and a wealth of educational content tailored to the diverse needs of caregivers. From navigating eldercare to managing the complexities of special needs care, Torchlight empowers employees with the necessary tools they need to confidently address caregiving challenges.

Caregiving is a vital yet often overlooked aspect of family life and public health in the United States. Approximately 53 million people provide unpaid care to individuals with chronic health conditions, disabilities, or age-related needs. As much as 67% of working caregivers struggle to balance career and caregiving, and 27% reduce their work hours or transition to part-time roles to manage their dual commitments.
