Psychology student and researcher · Host of Seit Ahara
Han Zaw Latt studies psychology at Towson University. His research looks at trauma, resilience, metacognition, and people affected by adversity and displacement.
He created and hosts Seit Ahara, a mental-health talk show for the people of Myanmar. He co-founded New Generation Myanmar, a K-12 virtual school, and founded Well Burma, a U.S. charity for displaced families in Myanmar.
Before 2021, he was a pioneer of Myanmar pageantry and media. After the military coup, he left Myanmar as a political refugee. Psychology became the way he understood that loss, and his work now helps others do the same.

Through his charity foundation, he has raised funds for HIV/AIDS care, orphanages, senior citizens, disabled persons, and victims of natural disasters and catastrophes in Myanmar.
I learned that trauma has patterns. That grief has patterns. That fear, adaptation, resilience, and healing are not signs of weakness but part of being human.
