Our Mission
Protection Through Healing. Prevention Through Community.
Full Court Healing™ was born from personal loss, unwavering faith, and a commitment to transform grief into purpose. Inspired by the life and legacy of Nathaniel “Lit. Nate” Drew Edwards, our mission is to equip families, schools, churches, and communities with practical tools that promote healing, strengthen relationships, and create pathways to prevention.
Through education, advocacy, strategic partnerships, and community engagement, we help individuals and organizations move beyond responding to crises by building environments where hope, connection, and healing can flourish.
Who was Lit Nate?
More Than a Name. More Than a Legacy.
Nathaniel “Lit. Nate” Drew Edwards was a beloved son, brother, father, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend whose life touched countless people. Known for his bright smile, kind heart, and ability to bring people together, Lit. Nat had a gift for making others feel seen and valued.
He loved family, friendship, basketball, and building relationships. Those who knew him remember his laughter, his energy, and the way he could light up a room with his presence.
To us, he will always be more than a memory. He is a daily reminder that every young person’s life has immeasurable value and that every community has a responsibility to protect, support, and encourage one another.
His legacy lives on through every conversation, every family supported, every young person encouraged, and every life touched through Full Court Healing™.
“Lit. Nate’s life continues to inspire hope, healing, and community.”
The Heart Behind Full Court Healing™
From a Mother’s Grief to a Community Movement
Full Court Healing™ was born from the deepest pain I have ever known and the unwavering belief that healing is possible when communities choose to stand together.
After the death of my son, Nathaniel “Lit. Nate” Drew Edwards, I came to understand that grief should never be carried alone. Families need support. Young people need trusted relationships. Communities need systems that recognize pain before it becomes crisis.
I refused to let my son’s story end with his death. Instead, his life became the inspiration for a movement dedicated to healing, protection, prevention, and hope.
Through Full Court Healing™, we partner with families, schools, churches, community organizations, and leaders to build stronger networks of support. By combining education, advocacy, community engagement, and practical strategies, we help create environments where people feel seen, valued, connected, and empowered to thrive.
Lit. Nate’s legacy lives on not only in memory, but in every life strengthened, every family supported, and every community committed to protecting the next generation.
