About Help Cards and Help Marks

A little help from you will lead to peace of mind for people with disabilities.

Some people with disabilities are unable to express their concerns.
A "Help Card" is something that people with disabilities carry with them on a daily basis to make it easier for them to ask for consideration and help from those around them in the event of an emergency, disaster, or when they are in trouble.
Note: The city is also handing out special holders so that they can be easily attached to bags, etc.

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

Created by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to help people who require assistance or consideration even if it is not obvious from their appearance, such as those with prosthetic legs or artificial joints, to receive assistance by letting those around them know that they need consideration. It's Mark.

Distribution locations: Toei Subway and Tama Monorail station offices (excluding some areas), Toei Bus offices, Tokyo Metropolitan Welfare Center for the Physically and Mentally Disabled, etc.

• Please say, "What's wrong?"
• Speak slowly and make sure the other person understands what you are saying.
• If you have a help card, the information you need help with will be written on the back.
