Some of us do SI in order to get help. If life is chaotic for her and she is afraid of being overlooked, when she is struggling, she may in fact want you to know. Attention-seeking seems like a stigma, but attention is very much a legitimate need. I hope that the school counselor can help her, and I'm glad that you are supportive. As has been said, this is just a symptom. There is a reason behind it that is more important, and needs to be addressed. Sometimes even asking for help in an unhealthy way can be positive because now she will get help.
