help card
Some people with disabilities are unable to communicate their problems.
A "help card" is something that a person with a disability always wears to make it easier for them to ask for consideration and help from those around them in times of emergency, disaster, or when they are in trouble.
Note: The city also distributes special holders so that it can be attached to a bag, etc., and carried easily.
Eligible people: People living in the city with physical, intellectual or mental disabilities, people with intractable illnesses, etc. who need support in their daily lives or in emergencies. Note: Limited to people who have a disability certificate or a disability-related recipient certificate.
Distribution locations: Disability Welfare Division, Wakabadai Branch Office and Hirao Branch Office
What is a help mark?

Created by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to make it easier for people with prosthetic legs or artificial joints who need assistance and consideration, even if they do not know from their appearance, to get assistance by informing the people around them that they need consideration. It's Mark.
Distribution locations: Toei Subway, Tama Monorail station offices (excluding some areas), Toei Bus sales offices, Tokyo Welfare Center for the Physically and Mentally Disabled, etc.
If a person with a disability is in trouble
- Call out, "What's wrong?"
- Speak slowly while making sure that the other person can hear you.
- If you have a help card, the back of it will tell you what you need help with.
