I've seen scars... I'm seriously worried about her. is there anything I can do? Should I just stay out of it?

Have you seen scars? If you know her a little and you trust each other you can talk to her about it. If you only know her for work and you don't really talk to her, maybe talk to someone she knows and trusts about, and ask if they knew

It's probably best not to get involved, only get involved if you believe it's serious enough and/or she comes to you to talk. Sometimes things are best left untouched and all that.

Yeah, I agree with this. ^ If you two don't know each other all that well, or rarely talk, then it's best not to say anything. But, if you get to know her, then bring it up in a conversation one day, and tell her that you're there for her, and that she can talk to you, if she needs emotional support from someone.

It really doesn't feel better for someone else to notice and bring it up. You most likely can't help enough to get her to stop. Beyond that she's your boss and it could backfire badly.

I agree with this. ^ From my own personal experience, going through self-harm was really embarrassing for me. I'm not saying anyone that self-harms should feel embarrassed or ashamed at all, but in my experiences I did. I tried everything I could to hide it, and was ashamed. While one person did bring it up to mock me, I can't imagine what I would have done if someone actually wanted to discuss it. So if I were you I wouldn't mention it. I think this is one of those things that you hold your tongue about. If she seems like she's in need of help or a set of caring ears, just ask her something simple like "Is everything okay?". If she seems like she's dealing with bad depression or anything along those lines, just talk to her as a friend. Sometimes that's all anyone needs. Otherwise I'd leave it be.
