Parade In All Who Served is a health promotion group that was designed and refined using human-centered design principles at the Hampton VA Medical Center in 2016. Each one-hour session of the ten-week, manualized, closed team provides an opportunity to combine with other LGBTQ+ Veterans to build a peer support system while improving LGBTQ+ patient health literacy. Connection to social endorse is a protective factor against suicide, stigma-related stress and other health outcomes for LGBTQ+ individuals. The group facilitation manual provides a comprehensive approach to implementation of the service, staff teaching, and guidance on how to create a welcoming environment. Veteran reactions to the service include: "I can't believe this organization is at the VA!", "My life has gotten better by coming", and "I love this group! I feel better talking to my providers."
