IPS Fidelity Scale

The IPS Fidelity Scale is a tool used to evaluate how well a Supported Employment program helps people with mental health challenges find and maintain competitive jobs. It measures adherence to evidence-based practices that promote individualized job searches, rapid placement, ongoing support, and teamwork. High scores indicate the program closely follows proven methods, leading to better employment outcomes for clients. Essentially, it helps organizations assess and improve their employment services to ensure clients receive effective, consistent support toward achieving and maintaining meaningful work.
